Re: [Gnuplot-info] Passing different "call" script parameters

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

call 'scriptname' 0 1 2 3 m

treats 'm' as variable name.
either you specify 'm' as a string:

call 'scriptname' 0 1 2 3 "'m'"

and test for it using 'strstrt()', or
you define variables:

m=1; c=2; i=3
call "scriptname" 0 1 2 3 m
call "scriptname" 0 1 2 3 c
call "scriptname" 0 1 2 3 i
