These are later reference in the "command" statement. So I would expect that target = (.*)\.pdf source = \1.dat command = gnuplot $source | epstopdf $target ...does the trick for you. Not sure if gnuplot can write to stdout. Maybe I completely got you wrong. A real minimal example including all source files and a description, which commands should be executed would be helpful.
