These values i need to plot in an XY graph with time on X-axes and the values on the Y-axes. Any ideeas how to fix this problem.??

You can use the Scan From String to get a timestamp (%<%H:%M:%S>T) or relative time (%<%H:%M:%S>t) but since you have repeated times, your graph is going to show different y values for the same x.

Im trying to use the example u sendt me but it aint working

My problem are that i want the string array containing "20:50:27" turned into a DBL value containing "20:50:27" ,that wil say the same value as shown in the string . In the exampl abov only 20 get stored, not :50:27

Take a closer look at the format string you are using versus the one in the Snippet.

Dosent make any diffrent it stil shows 20.. not 20:50:27 in the dbl

Then go to Graph Properties -> Display Format and set the X-Axis format to Relative Time.

Why did you use "f" in your format string and not "t" or "T"?  That is what Darin is talking about.

It is good information for me. Thanks.
