Re: [HTCondor-users] Extra quotes in ClassAd attribute name

[Marco Mambelli <marcom@xxxxxxxx>]

These are attributes to add to the condor submit file:
request_cpus = 1
+queue = "batch"
+WantIOProxy = true

That I'd like to publish as classad attributes (in the glidefactory classad) after adding a prefix, so they become:
GlideinSubmitrequest_cpus = 1
GlideinSubmit+queue = "batch"
GlideinSubmit+WantIOProxy = true

Is it there a standard way so that I could encode the plus so that the receiver reading the classad can get back to the original lines for the submit file?

Thanks,
Marco
