#213 4.6p4 macros don't work

[Anonymous]

Macros don't work.
the demo script is taken from here:
http://www.gnuplotting.org/code/configuration1.gnu
http://www.gnuplotting.org/configuration/

I get:

@WXT
^
"test.gnu", line 8: invalid character @

I run:
Version 4.6 patchlevel 4 last modified 2013-10-02
Build System: Linux x86_64
on Ubuntu 14.04

Thanks, Bastian

Your test script does not define any macros, so of course you get an error when you try to use them.

Note that the example script you quote was intended to be run only after the relevant macros were read in from a personal cusomization file (that is also shown on that web site).

Try this:

set macros              # not on by default in version 4
A = "version long"
show @A
