None of my 5 existing, well established, gnuplot 4.6 scripts run under gnup= lot-base 5.4 which I just installed. Let's start with: This fragment works as I intended under gnuplot 4.6. It reads the first li= ne of a file named in ARG1 and extracts the first field. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= -------------------- inputfile =3D ARG1 starttime=A0=3D=A0system("head=A0-c=A037=A0"=A0.=A0inputfile=A0.=A0"|=A0awk= =A0'{print=A0$1}'=A0"=A0) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------- However, in gnuplot-base (5.4 patchlevel 0)=20 The '$1' persistently translates to the second gnuplot-base command line ar= gument (ie: ARG2). It is not supposed to be assigned to anything as far a= s I know. I have a work around but this appears to be a very severe bug. This is only the first error I'm working through. I'm actually working on= restoring gnuplot 4.6. Leonard Kramer, Ph.D. Boeing Company HB3-20 Guidance, Navigation and Control 13100 Space Center Blvd. Houston, TX 77059 Leonard.Kramer@Boeing.com
