Re: [Gnuplot-info] name of current script

[Robbie M. <ro...@ac...>]

Hello all

First up, thanks Vinod for your suggestion of a bash
wrapper script.

Please note the following corrections: exho is echo,
the OUT assignment (righthand-side) should be in
backticks (`) not single-quotes ('), --persist should
be -persist.

I reworked the original script and tested it on Linux
plus Gnuplot 4.2 patchlevel 6:

--- src begin / bash --------

#! /bin/bash

# usage message (optional)

case "$1" in
    --help|--hel|--he|--h|-help|-hel|-he|-h|"-?")
        SCRIPT=$(basename "$0")
        echo "    usage: $SCRIPT <gnuplot-cmds>   create LOADFILE string
and load gnuplot-cmds file"
        echo "           $SCRIPT --help           show this message and exit"
        exit 0
        ;;
    "")
        SCRIPT=$(basename "$0")
        echo "$SCRIPT: gnuplot file name required (try --help for usage)"
        exit 2
esac

# active code

ARG1=$(basename "$1")                   # adapt these next two lines to
your needs
ARG1="$PWD/$ARG1"
echo "LOADFILE = \"$ARG1\"; load '$1'" | gnuplot -persist

----src end -----------------

And tested it with the following gnuplot code:

--- src begin / gnuplot -----

set title "source : " . LOADFILE        # 'LOADFILE' is set by invoking
script
plot sin(x)

--- src end -----------------

best wishes
Robbie
