[Gnuplot-info] How to make scripts continue after errors?

[Stephan H. <s.h...@gm...>]

Dear folks,

I have a script which occasionally will try to do plots of empty data
files, and should just ignore the resulting errors; instead gnuplot
stops execution when it encounters the first error. Although I
searched the web as well as the gnuplot docs & list archives for a
switch to change this behaviour, I've not found anything usable. Can
anyone please give me a clue on how to solve this problem?

Thanks very much in advance,

Stephan

There's currently only one such solution: don't do that.  Check for 
non-empty files before generating the 'plot' command to gnuplot.

Dear Hans-Bernhard,

thanks for clarifying that issue. I've already written a programme
which generates the scripts accordingly.


Cheers,

Stephan
