Re: [Gnuplot-info] set xrange from variable

I just discovered that it doesn't assign correctly the value I want, in
gnuplot:

gnuplot> FIRST_DAY=`date -d "-$(($(date +%d)-1)) days" +%Y-%m-%d`
gnuplot> print FIRST_DAY
1997

While at the usual bash prompt I get:

storebox:~# date -d "-$(($(date +%d)-1)) days" +%Y-%m-%d
2009-11-01

How come?

Thanks,
