[Gnuplot-info] real nos. with "D"exponent

[Al C. <fa...@gm...>]

Hi Gnuplot,

Minor problem while using gnuplot6.0.0

I have a larger txt file of 10 data columns showing a problem and a
file with a fix.
Below is  a  "tail"  of both files :
cat tailBad+Good.txt

When plotted with command:
    plot "tailBad+Good.txt" u 7:10 w l


the plot shows two lines.  It seems that the   *D-01"  exponent is not
correctly interpreted.   If I change all the  "D"  to "E" and replot, the
lines are on top of each other.

I am downloading  and installing 6.5 tomorrow and will check if the
problem is solved in that version.

Thanks for creating a great Gnuplot !
It is a wonderful, useful tool !
