Notes:
1) ABC.TXT (dynamic) is an external data file (dynamic) that is created by an
external program every ? seconds (ie. display dynamic graphs in GNUPLOT).
2) XYZ.??? is a GNUPLOT script file (static) that plots ABC.TXT
Inside a GNUPLOT SCRIPT File (XYZ.???) it seems that GNUPLOT EXIST reacts
like the BATCH DEFINED command
SET XXX=
IF DEFINED XXX ECHO XXX IS DEFINED (NOT CORRECT)
IF NOT DEFINED XXX ECHO XXX IS NOT DEFINED (CORRECT)
and NOT like the BATCH EXIST command
IF [NOT] EXIST ABC.TXT PLOT XYZ.???
YES or NO
If YES, is there a GNUPLOT command to test for an external file in a script?
If NO, what proper syntax is required.
... thanks
