Hi,

I have a gnuplot script that loads commands dynamically from awk:

load "<awk '$1>$2 {print ...}' < file.txt"

This works fine on Linux, but the ">" in "$1>$2" needs to be escaped as "^>" on Windows. 

Unfortunately, this script is used on both operating systems, and it is not useful to maintain two versions, as this script is stored in a vcs.

Hence, I have to decide dynamically which OS I use. Is this possible with gnuplot? E.g., a global variable that stores the OS (I haven't found any).

Thanks for your help,
Anton
