I don´t really follow, but ...

By "string" you mean the legend for each plot line? The legend, or
"key" in gnuplot terminology, can only be in one place. You want a
label at the last datapoint of each line instead?

  fname = '/path.....'
  stats fname
  np = STATS_records
  plot for [i=1:41] fname us 1:(column(i+1)) w lp lc i notitle, \
  for [i=1:41] fname ev ::np::np us 1:(column(i+1)):('cat'.i):(i)  w
label lc variable notitle

Not tried now. You can always shift the label by adding some f(i) to
the positions, or choosing a different than the last record
depending on i.
