So I have the following HTCondor submit description that works:
n = $(ProcId) 1
arguments = read_$INT(n).fa
Why can't I do this instead?
n = $INT($(ProcId) 1)
arguments = read_${n}.fa
CodePudding user response:
HTCondor submit description files use their own format for substitutions, not bash/shell syntax.
Macros
Parameterless macros in the form of
$(macro_name:default initial value)
may be used anywhere in HTCondor submit description files to provide textual substitution at submit time. Macros can be defined by lines in the form of<macro_name> = <string>
In order to refer to a macro (variable) n
use $(n)
instead of the bash syntax ${n}
. Since macros cannot be nested, evaluating $INT
based on another macro requires an intermediate variable:
proc1 = $(ProcId) 1
n = $INT(proc1)
arguments = read_$(n).fa
