Re: [HTCondor-users] submit file double quoting issue

Very strange.Â

Has anyone ran commands on condor (8.2.9/Windows) Âwhich have double quotes. I believe this could be a bug.

good news is condor likes that but the bad news is this problem I am getting from windows. In my error log I get

"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"

When condor_submit sees the value for your arguments begin with a ", then it switches to a different parsing mode that's designed to allow you
to supply " and ' characters inside your arguments.ÂÂÂ So I think you want this.

arguments = âc:\data\program.pl -i c:\data\largedataset.dat --point=""2014-01-01 01:00:00"""

Yes, but the program takes in a string for --point. So it will return an error. It need to be double quoted.Â

x:\sub\tw.bat c:\data\program.plÂ-i c:\data\largedataset.dat --point="2014-01-01 01:00:00"

Hi Rita â just a thought.

Have you tried enclosing the entire argument string in quotes without the escape characters?

 arguments = âc:\data\program.pl -i c:\data\largedataset.dat --point=2014-01-01 01:00:00"

Subject: [HTCondor-users] submit file double quoting issue

Â

I have a windows bat script (tw.bat) like this,

Â

@ECHO OFF

Â

perl %*

Â

Â

When I run my code manually on the windows server I run it like this

Â

x:\sub\tw.bat c:\data\program.pl -i c:\data\largedataset.dat --point="2014-01-01 01:00:00"

Â

works!

Â

Â

And my submit file is like this,

Universe = vanilla

executable = x:\sub\tw.bat

arguments = c:\data\program.pl -i c:\data\largedataset.dat --point=\"2014-01-01 01:00:00\"

queue

Â

it submits fine! But I get this error in my error file

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Â

I have tried many variations but all seem to fail or have condor_submit complain about double quoting/escaping

Â

Any ideas?

Â
