[sreekar g. <col...@gm...>]

sorry for posting the wrong data. the problem was with

plot "< awk '{if (($2 == 26) && ($3 == 160))  printf("%.2f    %.8f* \n *",$1,$6
*
4/exp(log($1)*3))}' < coordinates.dat " using 1:2 wi li title "26"

and the *error* is
 invalid character \

i would be grateful for any help

sincerely,
