Re: [Gnuplot-info] read file to datablock

[theozh <th...@gm...>]

Hi Ethan,
based on your suggestion... the following seems to work under Windows.
In case anybody on Windows might be interested.
Although pretty ugly and cumbersome...
1. writing 2 files to disk
2. reading and concatenating 3 files from disk
3. writing another file to disk
4. and reading this file from disk

I am wondering whether this will work properly with extremely large files on extremely slow network drives?

Thanks,
Theo.

system "type head ".FILE." tail > Temp.dat"
load "Temp.dat"
print $Data3
