I am running gnuplot version 4.6 (patchlevel 0) for Windows. The Windows version of this program provides a console or command prompt interface, similar to a bash shell in Unix/Linux or the DOS Command Prompt in Windows.

Some commands in gnuplot for Windows are similar to those in Unix/Linux or DOS. For example, pwd prints the current/working directory. Also, cd changes the directory, so I can use commands like cd 'C:\Documents and Settings'.

However, I have oddly not been able to figure out how to list the files in the current/working directory (which in Unix/Linux would be ls and in DOS would be dir). Do you know how to do this?

    A quick code review of Gnuplot 4.6.0 shows that ls (or similar) isn’t supported in windows.

    You can however use the system command, like system 'dir'
