[Gnuplot-info] Making/finding a timefmt for the unix date command default output

[Alan C. <ala...@gm...>]

I'd like to be able to do date >> datafile, then edit the file to add
other columns, and have Gnuplot understand the date/time format which
looks like:

Fri Jan 19 22:08:14 EST 2018

I think it's the same as the ctime() format, haven't seen that lately.
It seems like this must be a common thing to do.  I need to skip over
the day of week abbreviation, then deal with an abbreviation for month
name for starters, the rest other than time zone looks
straightforward.  But somebody's probably done it before.

Since the output format of the date command can be controlled by a
method similar to gnuplot's timefmt my approach would probably be to
set up an alias or script to do that.

I don't usually stay in this list between questions.

  Alan
