[Condor-users] Double quotes in a $$([...]) expression

[Mark Calleja <mc321@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying get double quotes to appear in an expression in a submit file 
of the form:

arguments = "$$([strcat("" ...  "")"")])"

where the final result will be:

arguments = -singleCompThread -nojvm -r "test(1,<the instantiation of 
$(Process)>)"

However, try as I may I can't get those pesky double quotes to appear as 
literals. The best that I can get is with:

arguments = "$$([strcat(""-singleCompThread -nojvm -r test(1,"" , 
string($(Process)), "")"")])"

which leads to:

arguments = -singleCompThread -nojvm -r test(1,<the instantiation of 
$(Process)>)

but any attempt to introduce literal double quotes in the argument 
string fails with the typical error message:

"Unexpected characters following double-quote.  Did you forget to escape 
the double-quote by repeating it?"

Any ideas for getting round this? I'll even settle for single quotes.

Best regards,
Mark
