The datafiles I'm dealing with have the following row format:
time1, time2, number1, string1, string2, number2, number3, string3,
string4, number4
04-12 16:10:58.924,04-12
16:10:59.181,0.257698,GROUP_1,GROUP_1,9,100,GROUP_1,SUCCESS,0
I set the date/time format of the first field as
set format x "%1m-%2d %01H:%02M:%06.3S"
but gnuplot 4.6/WinXP returns an error when I try to plot number1 as a
function of time1:
gnuplot> set datafile separator ","
gnuplot> set format x "%1m-%2d %01H:%02M:%06.3S"
gnuplot> pl'output.csv'u($1):($3)
Warning: empty x range [4:4], adjusting to [3.96:4.04]
Bad format character
There's nothing wrong with the datafile that I can see; what am I
doing wrong?
time1, time2, number1, string1, string2, number2, number3, string3,
string4, number4
04-12 16:10:58.924,04-12

Close, but no cigar. That's an _output_ format, but you wanted to

describe how to _input_ your data. You need
set timefmt "%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
instead (note that input formats don't take field widths or precisions).

Does that look exactly like the format I showed you? What do you think
the difference will do?

'1' instead.
