Re: [Condor-users] Spaces in filename

["Michael O'Donnell" <odonnellm@xxxxxxxx>]

This would work for me (but I am on windows):
Arguments = "'/file/path/file1 name.ext' '/file/path/file2name.ext'"

I believe the rule is double quotes
around all contents of the argument and then single quotes around paths
with spaces.This works on windows and since 7.4.x.

Hello, I would like to submit a job where the "Arguments"
field  
contains a filename with a space, such as:

Arguments = /file/path/file1 name.ext /file/path/file2name.ext

I have tried many combinations of double quotes, single quotes,  
escaped quotes around /file/path/file1 name.ext, and escaping the  
space, but still get errors when I submit.  I'm not able to modify
 
this filename to remove the space.

A similar question was answered here:

https://www-auth.cs.wisc.edu/lists/condor-users/2006-October/msg00097.shtml

The solution was to use double quotes, add a '+' at the start of the  
line to bypass error checking, and change the field, in this case  
"output" to the actual job classad name "out".  I
tried double quotes  
with the '+', but I have not been able to find the actual classad name
 
for "Arguments".  Any help on this or other solutions would
be  
appreciated.

Thanks,
Sara
