Re: [Condor-users] Complex syntax for arguments

[Craig Bruce <pcxcb1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John, 

Thanks for the powerpoint and extensive email! With a bit of trial and error
I've managed to find the right syntax:

arguments = "weka.classifiers.meta.Vote -t somefile.arff
-B 'weka.classifiers.meta.AdaBoostM1 -S 4' -B
'weka.classifiers.functions.SMO -K ""weka.classifiers.kernel""' "

-B ""weka.."" is ok if there are no whitespaces, if there are use
single-quote.

This isn't my choice of syntax, but that of a data mining program, weka.

Many thanks
Craig
