Hi,

I am trying to make a plot of an ASCII file using GNUplot, but I keep getting error msg:
for example plot filename.txt

It says that (.txt ) is not identified ... I tried to write it without the .txt part, but I also get the error msg.

Any idea why? :confused:

GNUplot is rather precise about the input format of the data it receives. Ensure that the data is aligned correctly (one tab spacing and not an occasional double tab), that the data is in UNIX format, that there are no non-ASCII characters, that there are no headers or footers to break the reading of data and that the permissions are set correctly.
