looping on a specific value. You can do that by defining a repeat attribute.
You can iterate over sequences of:
- strings
- integers
- dates
A sequence of integers or dates is created by specifying the
first and last element, with an optional increment (the default is one).
An ecFlow variable, whose name corresponds to the name of the repeat,
will be generated. This can be used in scripts or trigger expressions.
Ecf Script
We will add a new task /test/f4/f5/t1.
Create new ecf script file $HOME/course/test/f4/f5/t1.ecf to use these variables.

Let us modify the suite definition file again

# Definition of the suite test.

What to do
- Type in the changes
- Replace the suite definition
- How many times will /test/f4/f5/t1 run?
- In ecflow_ui , try to modify the values of a repeat
