I have a text file containing N colums and I would like to fit the data of each column using the command fit of GNUPLOT using a custum f(x), for example f(x)=exp(x/t), fitting via t. The first column of the text file contains the values of x. I do not manage to make a loop on the columns. Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much, Francesco

Maybe this is not the best piece of code but it works.
#Given a txt file, where the first colum is x, this script calculates
#the best fit for each column starting from column 2
#N=number of column
#(R0:R1)=range of x values over which calculate fit
#The script saves parameters fit in file parameters.txt.
#Remember to erase this file before relaunching because appends results.
N=28
R0=0
R1=7
do for [i=2:N:1] {
set terminal postscript enhanced color solid eps
set output graph(i)
set xrange[0:20]
f(x) = exp(-x/tau)
set fit errorvariables
fit [R0:R1] f(x) 'myfilename.txt' u 1:i via tau
set print "parameters.txt" append
print tau,tau_err
plot"myfilename.txt" u 1:i, f(x)
reset
}
