tbg multiple openPMD output causes strange naming

[PrometheusPi]

When calling openPMD-api multiple times within a *.cfg using tbg, the newly added --openPMD.infix is escaped from '_%T' to \'_%T\'. This not only leads to the single quotation marks being written to the output files but to additional double quotation marks around the entire files.

The naming is changed from simData_0.bp to "simDataEfield'_0'.bp".

The double openPMD-api call is given below:

TBG_openPMD_en="--openPMD.period 20000                         \
            --openPMD.file simDataElectrons                         \
            --openPMD.source en_all                        \
            --openPMD.ext bp                               \
            --openPMD.infix '_%T'                          "
#            --openPMD.dataPreparationStrategy mappedMemory "


TBG_openPMD_E="--openPMD.period 5000                         \
            --openPMD.file simDataEfield                         \
            --openPMD.source E                           \
            --openPMD.range 384,:,:                           \
            --openPMD.ext bp                               \
            --openPMD.infix '_%T'                          "
#            --openPMD.dataPreparationStrategy mappedMemory "


TBG_checkpoints=" --checkpoint.period 30000 "
#                  --checkpoint.openPMD.dataPreparationStrategy mappedMemory   "



TBG_plugins="!TBG_openPMD_en     !TBG_openPMD_E              \
             !TBG_checkpoints              \
             !TBG_sumEnergy                \
             !TBG_en_histogram             \
             !TBG_e_histogram              \
              --e_macroParticlesCount.period 100 \
              --en_macroParticlesCount.period 100"
              

After speaking with @psychocoderHPC offline, I will test removing the single quotation marks in the *.cfg and will remove the escape symbols in the submit.start.

@PrometheusPi Any updates here?

@steindev Thanks for reminding me. I will have a look at it again.
