Graphing selected data from a text file

[jnaumann]

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to graph the data in the attached file but to no avail. I am trying to plot the time against the parameters after it. I only need to plot those where the ID=1. So far I have attempted reading the file and feeding it into a while loop (to loop through the lines) and had a case structure inside this loop to determine wether the ID=1. I didn't succeed and I am very baffled. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Lots of ways to do this.

One is to use SCAN STRING from FILE and use the format to match your ID=1 lines.  Since the ID=173 lines are missing some numbers, the scan will report an error and you discard it.

If you succeed, you know the line is valid, you could check for ID=2 or something at that point, then append the valid ones to an array you're building in a while loop.
