3.4 Do

Syntax:

      do for <iteration-spec> {
           <commands>
           <commands>
      }

Execute a sequence of commands multiple times. The commands must be enclosed in curly brackets, and the opening "{" must be on the same line as the ‘do‘ keyword. This command cannot be used with old-style (un-bracketed) if/else statements. See ‘if‘. For examples of iteration specifiers, see iteration. Example:

      set multiplot layout 2,2
      do for [name in "A B C D"] {
          filename = name . ".dat"
          set title sprintf("Condition %s",name)
          plot filename title name
      }
      unset multiplot
