Re: [HTCondor-users] $(Item) only good for arguments in submit file?

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What version of htcondor?  Before HTCondor 8.4

 

Queue item in (37,55)

 

Would parse as

 

Queue 1

 

-tj

Hi HTCondor Peoples

 

I think I have a simple question on using a list of items to queue in my submit file.

 

First, I ran a set of jobs where I chose the transfer input files like:

transfer_input_files = data.zip, unzip.exe, Python27_64_w_flopy.zip, /â/$(basename)/results/results_$(Process).zip

queue 80

This worked fine and, as expected, grabbed zip files results_0.zip, results_1.zip â. results_79.zip (and I defined basename earlier in the file)

 

Now, I want to re-run only two of the jobs (the ones with indices 37 and 55, respectively).

 

I tried this:

transfer_input_files = data.zip, unzip.exe, Python27_64_w_flopy.zip, /â/$(basename)/results/results_$(Item).zip

queue Item in (37,55)

 

This threw an error like:

Submitting job(s)

ERROR: Can't open â/â/basename_was_here/results/results_.zip"  with flags 00 (No such file or directory)

                                                                                                                                                                                                            

So it seems like $(Item) is not getting unpacked from the list (37,55)? All the examples I found online (mostly from TJâs 2015 HTCondor Week slides) show using queue item in (list) to supply arguments=â

 

Any ideas how Iâm failing here?
