[Gnuplot-info] using week number in timefmt

[Mikhail K. <mko...@gm...>]

i am trying to use week number in timefmt specification, e.g.

set timefmt "%Y%U"
plot "2008-weekly-medianed.txt using 1:2 w lp

and receiving many lines like that:

2008-weekly-medianed.txt:11:         warning: Bad time format in string
200839  +3.408884e+002

is it possible to do it as it is described in the manual? for now i have 
to use %Y-%m-%d specification unstead?

all the best,
Misha.

"%U" is only valid for "set format" not for "set timefmt".

see chapters 75.23.3 and 75.70 in the manual.
