Re: [Condor-users] parsing arguments with whitespaces

[Peter Doherty <doherty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
