xspec output data.

I wonder if a long-standing issue will be corrected. When I save a model using PLT command wd, sometimes lines are broken in weird places and minus signs are attached to previous number on the right. That is, I am getting lines, where instead of

number -number

I have two lines:

number-
number

Answer:

So to deal with such files a complex sed editor call is needed to make them normal. It's apparently bug in PLT, and it's annoying for everyone who'd save plt data.

@Tsukasa. I discussed this with the author of PLT and think the lines can be made longer. He notes that you can help the problem somewhat by changing the wdata command to eg "wdata myfile.qdp -2". This will limit the error numbers to two digits so allowing more columns within the 78 characters before the line wraps.

You can also use the "tclout plot" command to write out the contents of any array being plotted so this provides another way of outputting the plot data.
