[Gnuplot-info] Load strings

[GnuFrank <the...@ya...>]

I would like to load strings from a file, put them in a variable and them
print them on-screen with "set label" command.

Does anyone know how I could load strings and keep them in memory ?

Thanks

I'm afraid I can only offer a slightly awkward workaround, which is to prepare a separate script in bash (or your language of choice) that will read the required string, create a gnuplot script containing that string at the required place, and then execute the script with gnuplot. I actually find myself doing this quite frequently.
