5
6
7

.Pay attention to the belowe think they are my in file witch they "

12
43
65

" As you see I have Y's element but I do not have X's element in my file,I mean X elemat is based on the row number.I guess there should be an command in gnuplot which does this.

This is the default behaviour for single column files. The difference is that the standard numbering is to number x=0,1,2,...

Here's my data (in file temp.dat)

12 
43 
65 
76 
12 
56

Plot with

    gnuplot> plot "temp.dat" with linespoints title "Single column data"

or similar.

To shift the x-axis so that x=1,2,3...

    gnuplot> plot "temp.dat" using ($0+1):1 with linespoints title "Single column data"

I was able to get this working by cat'ing the file and then plotting: cat temp.dat | gnuplot -p -e "plot '<cat' with linespoints"
