[Gnuplot-info] format string exclusion

[<seb...@ph...>]

Dear all,

I am fighting in trying to read the standard output of the Unix date 
command with a timefmt string (e.g. Wed Dec 29 11:26:56 EST 2004).

In the official Gnuplot documentation I can read that "the format string 
must exclude this text".
Does this mean that the day in my example must be excluded from my data 
file or does it mean
that there is a way to exclude it in the format string itself.

An little example on this topic in the documentation would help.

Thank you and best regards,
Sebastien
