Re: [Condor-users] Spaces in filename

[Dan Bradley <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sara,

What version of Condor are you using?  I would have expected the 
following to work in Condor 7.x:
arguments = "'/file/path/file1 name.exe' '/file/path/file2name.ext'"

i.e. double quotes around the whole argument string and single quotes 
around each argument.
