#2819 — Datafile with AM/PM in time-series

Hi,

I want to plot a time-series datafile in which the time is specified as follows:

...
3/12/2015	11:59:45 PM
3/12/2015	11:59:50 PM
3/12/2015	11:59:55 PM
3/13/2015	12:00:00 AM
3/13/2015	12:00:05 AM
3/13/2015	12:00:10 AM
...


How to plot with correct X-axis timeformat ?
(%p seems to be an am/pm specifier only for the output, not for the input datafile, correct ?)

Many thanks

Seems that you can't do it within gnuplot. You can convert your series 
to 24h format the same way as it was answeded here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/440061/convert-12-hour-date-time-to-24-hour-date-time

Generally speaking, it's a bad idea, to use AM/PM notation in technical 
data.
