[Condor-users] Windows template file: args with quotes?

["Smithies, Russell" <Russell.Smithies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What’s the trick to using quotes in the Arguments in a template?

I’m submitting a megablast job and the args have quotes in them but no amount of escaping or back-slashing or substitution is getting me around it.

 

I need something like this:

Arguments = -D 2 -m 8 -U T -F "m D"

 

I keep ending up with error messages in _condor_stderr like this:

[NULL_Caption] ERROR: Arguments must start with '-' (the offending argument #31 was: 'D"')

 

This is version:

$CondorVersion: 7.3.2 Sep 11 2009 BuildID: 181136 $

$CondorPlatform: INTEL-WINNT50 $

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanx,
