The <newline> that ends the line is not considered part of the comment." I had assumed this functionality since you are using shell-style comments.

continuation character "\" at end of comment lines not handled correctly

Thanks, works now. Would be good to put that in the documentation, I didn't find it anywhere. See http://www.gnuplot.info/docs_5.4/Gnuplot_5_4.pdf p 234 under "while" Thanks!

More debugging... apparently the backtick evaluation just does not seem to work in a while... loop, before it works fine when done multiple times with replot. In the loop, it evaluates correctly the first time but not on subsequent loops 2021-04-30T12:49:06 CEST Looping... 0.9 2021-04-30T12:49:06 CEST 1.0 2021-04-30T12:49:11 CEST 1.1 2021-04-30T12:49:17 CEST While-ing... 1.2 2021-04-30T12:49:22 CEST 1.3 2021-04-30T12:49:22 CEST 1.4 2021-04-30T12:49:22 CEST
