Re: [Condor-users] Windows template file: args with quotes?

[Jason Stowe <jstowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Russell,
The following should help:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.3/2_5Submitting_Job.html#SECTION00351000000000000000

So for your example, you'd do:
Arguments = -D 2 -m 8 -U T -F ""m D""

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
Jason
