Stopping pre-processing

The ecFlow pre-processor allows parts of the ecFlow script to be included as is of without being pre-processed. This was done mainly to make it easy to use languages such as perl which make significant use of the %-sign.

Pre-processing can be stopped in two ways:

• By using a pair of lines: %nopp and %end which will completely stop the pre-processing between those lines

• By using %includenopp filename which will include the file as is without any interpretation.This makes it easy to test the script separately but allows it to be edited by ecflow_ui.

%nopp echo "char like % can be safely used here"
    date +%Y.%m.%d
%end

echo "otherwise we must write"

date +%%Y.%%m.%%d
