[HTCondor-users] Unable to parse single quote in condor_submit config file

[Ed T <javamarket@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Andrey for your response, however I do not see the results you assert should occur.

 

In digging a little deeper, the difficulty seems to be in invoking the overall matlab execution in Windows without a bat file.

The following should be an easily reproducible test on any Win machine that has any version of Win MatLab and Condor:

 

at standard dos prompt:     matlab -r diary;path;exit

 

This opens MatLab (full desktop), and lists its current path into a file 'diary' in the current working directory then closes. 

I've removed all other options for simplicity e.g. -nodesktop.

 

As I understand it, this should transcribe to the condor_submit file as ...

 

arguments = -r diary;path;exit

 

I've also tried = "'-r diary;path;exit'" which is DblQuote SingleQuote -r ... exit SingleQuote DblQuote

 

as per the documentation.  No Joy.

 

If someone can assist in this example on Windows I'm sure I can build from it.

 

Many thanks,

Mark
