Hello,
Is there any way to work with a batch of jobs that use input files that are not numbered sequentially? I have a set of input files that are numbered with an ID; some IDs are not present so there are gaps in the sequence (1, 5, 6, 10, etc, not 1, 2, 3). So I can't call those input files with $(Process) in the submit file because they are not in sequence.
Is there any way to refer to a specific sequence of numbers for a batch - e.g. instead of using $(Process), can I call the numbers from a text file that lists which IDs are actually present? Or, can I somehow tell HTCondor to simply skip the jobs where the input file is not present, rather than aborting the job submission as it normally does?
I'd rather avoid a workaround like renaming all the input files sequentially, which would take some time as I'm working with tens of thousands of files.
Thanks,
Emily
