<div>Chris,</div>
<div>I wouldn't say a lot of scripting is needed for this. However, ARWpost is a complete software package in and of itself, so that may be considered as some scripting (compiling ARWpost is about the same as compiling WRF, it just doesn't take as long).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>%e is just a template string. There are a large number of template strings that are used to tie a bunch of different binary files (i.e., WRF simulations) together using just one control file. You can find all the information you'll need regarding %e as well as a link to the general templating page by reading through the EDEF section here: <a href="http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/descriptorfile.html#EDEF">http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/descriptorfile.html#EDEF</a></div>
