Re: [Gnuplot-info] system command in gnuplot

[Andrew R. <an...@gm...>]

Hello,

Your error comes from the fact that gnuplot is running the system command
using the sh shell instead of bash (or whatever your usual shell is). You
can get the command to be interpreted by bash like this:

system("bash -c 'paste <(ls Q*) <(ls F*)'")
