The variable ECF_MICRO can be set to change the ecFlow micro-character. This affects both the commands and the interpretation of the ecFlow files. The default value is "%".
An example showing changing the micro-character follows:
suite x edit ECF_MICRO "&" family f task t
t.ecf
&include <head.h> echo job here &include <end.h>
Another way of changing the micro-character is to set it up in the ecFlow script. It only affects the script interpretation, not the commands ECF_JOB_CMD or ECF_KILL_CMD.
#!/bin/bash %ecfmicro ^ ^include <script.pl> echo "^VAR:default^" ^ecfmicro % echo "reverted %VAR:default%"
