Re: [Gnuplot-info] command line arguments to gnuplot scripts

... OK, thank you for the explanation.

I didn't realize that all gnuplot parameters are treated as file names.
Sorry.

I tried to get environment variable as suggested, but I was not successful,
see the output:

Terminal type set to 'windows'
gnuplot> FILE=system("echo %HOME%")
         warning: system evaluation not supported by MS-Windows 32 bit

So how to get it? Note that the "HOME" variable was set to "C:\Lukas" via
system command:

set HOME=C:\Lukas

(Hope there won't be any problems using "\" in file names, although the "/"
is used at Linux systems and "\" is often the escape-sequence prefix.)

Thank you in advance.

Lukas
