Re: [Condor-users] parsing arguments with whitespaces

Hi Peter,

I will have a look to that link as soon as I can and let you know if it helps. 
Thanks a lot!

Hi Jose,

I ran into a similar problem not that long ago, but I was using variable substitution within DAGMAN
Maybe this link is helpful?
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.5/2_10DAGMan_Applications.html#SECTION003106200000000000000
(see "Special characters within VARS string definitions")

At least with DAGMAN they say: Unfortunately, it is not possible to have single quote marks within these values.
I only needed double quotes, but I eventually got it working with something like this:

Arguments=" -m var1 -p var2 -i 0.3 -s 0.5 -a 3.0 -n 1 -c \\\"1 2 3 4\\\""

Notice the excessive escaping of the quotes.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you (and I didn't see your post sooner), but hopefully that gives you a lead to follow.

Hello,

I have a bash script like this one  [1].
It works perfectly from the command line [2].
However, if I submit it with condor-G, with a file like [3], I get this error message [4].

I have tried with double quotes, single qoutes, scaping qoutes, etc. No luck.
Any tip or advice will be more than welcome.

Thank a lot in advance.
Jose
