Hi, I like to plot Touchstone files (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters#List_format) without changing the files themselves. The header lines consist of a mixture of # and ! as comment sign.
Is there a way to either add ! to the list of recognized comment signs (or better to make the recognized comment signs user-configurable) or to skip a certain amount of header lines? Minimal example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgfplots} \begin{filecontents}{data.dat} ! Some comments # GHz dB ! another comment line 1 0 2 -10 3 0 \end{filecontents} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis} \addplot table [x index=0,y index=1] {data.dat}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Thanks, Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
