Hi George,

Thanks for the reply. It works :)

But  there is still something strange happening.

To make kstcmd not echo the right-hand side of an assignment
to stdout, I have to add a backslash to that line (see below),
But if I add one after the last assignment, the labels are not updated.

This does not work:

echo -e 'Kst.windows[0].plots[0].xAxis.label = "Time (s)"; \
Kst.windows[0].plots[0].yAxis.label = "Collective"; \' | kstcmd

This works, but echos "Collective" to stdout:

echo -e 'Kst.windows[0].plots[0].xAxis.label = "Time (s)"; \
Kst.windows[0].plots[0].yAxis.label = "Collective";' | kstcmd

Is this normal?

Greetings,

Wim
