Plotting data into file

[Michael Kopp]

Hi all,

I am about writing a script which automatically plots data into 
eps-files. I am using "gset outpout <filename>" to designate the output 
file. However, this seems to work only if I give the name ouf the 
outputfile directly as a string, but not if I give it as an octave 
string variable. Here is an example:

str = "test.eps";
gset terminal postscript eps;
gset output str;                % this does not work
plot((1:10)', (1:10)'/2);
gset output "anothertest.eps";        % this works
plot((1:10)', (1:10)'/2);
gset terminal X11;
gset output;

Any suggestions?

TIA,

Michael.
