Re: [Gnuplot-info] read file to datablock

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

ok, I think here we go :-)
You concatenate the text '$Data <<EOD' and the content of the file using the commands 'echo' and 'type' at which the character '<' has to be escaped by '^'.
So easy if you know how.

The advantages over the earlier mentioned other methods:
- empty lines are preserved
- no additional space character at the beginnig of the line
- no loading of any extra assistant files


### Read file "as is" to datablock under Windows
reset session
FILE = "Test.dat"

load "< echo $Data ^<^<EOD & type ".FILE
print "$Data"
print $Data
### end of code
