[Gnuplot-info] Plotting fortran formatted data

[Sergei N. <vo...@ra...>]

Hi!
I need to plot from a file written by a FORTRAN code with formatted output like
this:

J0023+092311.8D 0.085
J0030+045158.8P 0.861
J0034-0534 6.6D10.255
As you can see the formats here are A10,F4.1,A1,F6.3. The plot needs to be
created as a second column versus the fourth. Plotting as a straight text file
will not work because there are no spaces between the columns. I was reading
about plotting a binary file but this feature does not seem to applicable in this
case.

Can anyone, please, explain whether such data can be plotted by GnuPlot or I
would need to write a filer to convert the data into separate columns?

Thanks in advance,

-- Sergei
