[Gnuplot-info] Why would gnuplot ignore my first data point in a file?

[Christopher D. C. <ch...@cs...>]

Hi  -- I've been a long-time user of gnuplot, but am baffled at
why it's consistently ignoring the first line from all my data input files?

I am using the current release version, 4.4.0.

My data file is:


50534   0.01   2048   4   2   1          42331740.77
50534   0.01   2048   4   2   1          42331740.77
50534   0.1   2048   4   2   1          148496233.59
50534   0.25   2048   4   2   1         183645787.30
50534   0.5   2048   4   2   1          206525421.53
50534   0.90   2048   4   2   1         242512603.37


My gnuplot command script is where I just want to plot the 2nd column as X
and 7th column as Y.

Any ideas -- my script is below??
Thanks,
Chris
