The `load` command executes each line of the specified input file as if it had been typed in interactively. Files created by the save command can later be `load`ed. Any text file containing valid commands can be created and then executed by the `load` command. Files being `load`ed may themselves contain `load` or call commands. See `comments` for information about comments in commands. To `load` with arguments, see call.
Syntax:
load "<input-file>"
The name of the input file must be enclosed in quotes.
The special filename "-" may be used to `load` commands from standard input. This allows a `gnuplot` command file to accept some commands from standard input. Please see help for `batch/interactive` for more details.
On some systems which support a popen function (Unix), the load file can be read from a pipe by starting the file name with a '<'.
Examples:
load 'work.gnu' load "func.dat" load "< loadfile_generator.sh"
The `load` command is performed implicitly on any file names given as arguments to `gnuplot`. These are loaded in the order specified, and then `gnuplot` exits.
