console.log(result);

require('sdf-parser') (sdf, options)

    CLogP: function (field) {
      return {
        low: field * 1 - 0.2,
        high: field * 1 + 0.2,
      };

  },
  filter: (entry) => {
    return entry.CLogP && entry.CLogP.low > 4;
  },
});

const { iterator } = require('sdf-parser');
const readStream = createReadStream(join(__dirname, 'test.sdf.gz'));
