Re: [Condor-users] Complex syntax for arguments

[Dan Bradley <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

arguments = "weka.classifiers.meta.Vote -t somefile.arff -B 
'""weka.classifiers.meta.AdaBoostM1 -S 4""' -B"

produces these arguments:

1: weka.classifiers.meta.Vote
2: -t
3: somefile.arff
4: -B
5: "weka.classifiers.meta.AdaBoostM1 -S 4"
6: -B

Is that what you want?
