[HTCondor-users] Function macro - matching files

[JoÃo BaÃto <joao.bauto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the matching files function macro but it doesn't seem to accept what I'm doing.

What I want to do is, based on the value of a variable, the _expression_ passed to the matching files is modified. I tried using an if else block that queues jobs but when testing with dry-run it fails with "submit file: endif without matching if" which makes sense but I don't know to avoid this issue.

EXTENSION = avi

SINGLE_VIDEO = True

if $INT(SINGLE_VIDEO)

  queue VIDEO matching files matching files ($(PATH)/*/*.$(EXTENSION))

else

  queue VIDEO matching files matching files ($(PATH)/*.$(EXTENSION))

endif

Any idea on how to make this work?

Cheers,

JoÃo BaÃto
