Extract some information from results of `opt` and `scrf` Gaussian jobs

[FanwangM]

I am working on a project that requires the following information from geometry optimization result (log file) using Gaussian 16,

• dipole (line 20341-20342 in test_opt.log)
• electronic spatial extent (au) (line 20339 in test_opt.log)
• HUMO and LUMO, (line 20183-20184 in test_opt.log)
• rotational constants (GHZ) (line 20156 in test_opt.log)

and the following from SCRF job,

• SMD-CDS (non-electrostatic) energy (line 824 in test_scrf.log)
• line 605 to line 615 in test_scrf.log

I know you are working heavily on database construction that you may have some unmerged implementation for this already. To just avoid duplicated work, can you share your work if you have some already? @leila-pujal @FarnazH Thanks! Otherwise, I can try to implement this feature and try to merge it into IOData.

test_opt.log test_scrf.log

@fwmeng88 actually, I was just needing to get some geometry information out of the Gaussian log file, so it would be very useful to parse more information out of the log file. As far as I can tell, we don't have any unmerged implementation, so please feel free to share your work.

Thanks for letting me know. @FarnazH I have a working script for now, but I will refactor it and make a PR. The plan is to put all the information into extra section in the dictionary.

Here is the script that I wrote,

@fwmeng88 This would be a welcome addition!

I have a small question, bu it is likely not an issue: long chained elif statements can become slow because each line is compared in all elif statements. I'm actually not sure how to do it in any faster way. Dictionary lookups could be faster to select the right code for parsing a line, but one would need to know which part of the line to use, e.g.

def func1(line):
    # do something with line
    ...
def func2(line):
    # do something different with line
    ...
funcs = {"begin1": func1, "begin2": func2}
funcs[line[:6]](line)

This would not have a cost that scales linearly with the number of such functions. The problem with my suggestion is that I don't see how to combine it with line.startswith.

Thanks for the suggestions. @tovrstra

According to my usage experience, this parsing is fast, ~5-10 seconds. I think I am just going to follow this style but can fix it when it becomes a bottleneck.
