Re: [HTCondor-users] submit file double quoting issue

["Krieger, Donald N." <kriegerd@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rita – just a thought.

Have you tried enclosing the entire argument string in quotes without the escape characters?

  arguments = “c:\data\program.pl -i c:\data\largedataset.dat --point=2014-01-01 01:00:00"

 

 

Best regards,

Subject: [HTCondor-users] submit file double quoting issue

 

I have a windows bat script (tw.bat) like this,

 

@ECHO OFF

 

perl %*

 

 

When I run my code manually on the windows server I run it like this

 

x:\sub\tw.bat c:\data\program.pl -i c:\data\largedataset.dat --point="2014-01-01 01:00:00"

 

works!

 

 

And my submit file is like this,

Universe = vanilla

executable = x:\sub\tw.bat

arguments = c:\data\program.pl -i c:\data\largedataset.dat --point=\"2014-01-01 01:00:00\"

queue

 

it submits fine! But I get this error in my error file

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

 

I have tried many variations but all seem to fail or have condor_submit complain about double quoting/escaping

 

Any ideas?
