There will be more than one solution. My solution is, bring both files
to the same separator. With "sytem" you can do it from inside gnuplot.


system "sed -i 's/\ /\t/g' sep_space.dat"
set datafile separator "\t"
plot 'sep_tab.dat' u 1:2 w lp, 'sep_space.dat' u 1:2 w lp



This "sed -i 's/\ /\t/g' sep_space.dat" convert the space into a
tabulator, in the file "sep_space.dat".
