#2733 — Basic Plotting

Is it possible to generate a graph from a txt file that looks like this?

22.6 Sat Jan 31 19:38:18 2015
22.8 Sat Jan 31 19:40:05 2015
22.8 Sat Jan 31 19:40:11 2015
22.8 Sat Jan 31 19:40:16 2015
22.7 Sat Jan 31 19:49:00 2015
23.2 Sat Jan 31 19:59:09 2015


the first number being a temperature reading.
Having trouble figuring out how to get this work.

Thanks

Does this do what you want?

	set timefmt "%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y"
	set xdata time
	plot "file.dat" using 3:1

Cheers
