I tried to find this out from the "friendly manual", but failed - too overwhelmed by information.

I want GNUPlot to process a CSV whose 1st record provides "metadata" about the remainder of the data in the file (test conditions to be added as annotations to the plot).

Is this easy to do?  If so a pointer to a working example or tutorial for this would be hugely helpful.

Thanks
David
