    Hi all
    I found this great piece of tool yesterday, and I’m already using this recipe: https://canvasjs.com/forums/topic/graph-a-csv-file/
    Works like a charm, but is it possible to state how many lines you want to display? I’m thinking like last ten lines, og maybe based on date

    Thanks in advance

    Baekmark,

    For showing certain number of lines from the end you can modify the processData function as below for iterating over number of lines.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function () {

    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "Data.csv",
        dataType: "text",
        success: function (data) { processData(data); }
    });

    function processData(allText) {
        var numberOfLinesFromEnd = 10;
        var allLinesArray = allText.split('\n');
        if (allLinesArray.length > 0) {
            var dataPoints = [];
            for (var i = Math.max(0, allLinesArray.length - numberOfLinesFromEnd) ; i <= allLinesArray.length - 1; i++) {
	        var rowData = allLinesArray[i].split(',');
	        if(rowData && rowData.length > 1)
	            dataPoints.push({ label: rowData[0], y: parseInt(rowData[1]) });
            }
            chart.options.data[0].dataPoints = dataPoints;
            chart.render();
        }
    }

            
    var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer", {
        theme: "theme2",
        title: {
            text: "Basic Column Chart – CanvasJS"
        },
        data: [
        {
            type: "column",
            dataPoints: []
        }
        ]
    });
            
});
</script>

    Hi,

    I do have a question about graph csv file

    This is how my File look like:

    0 246.438 243.078 114.506 246.438 243.078 114.506
    1 246.438 243.078 114.506 246.438 243.078 114.506
    2 246.438 243.078 114.506 246.438 243.078 114.506
    3 246.438 243.078 114.506 246.438 243.078 114.506
    # any comment
    4 246.438 243.078 114.506 246.438 243.078 114.506
    5 246.438 243.078 114.506 246.438 243.078 114.506
    6 246.438 243.078 114.506 246.438 243.078 114.506
    7 246.438 243.078 114.506 246.438 243.078 114.506

    first: is it possible to use “space” as split value?
    second: how can I ignore lines which begins with # (comment) by parsing

    my code:

    `function processData( allText ) {
    var allLinesArray = allText.split(“\n”);
    if( allLinesArray.length > 0 ){

    var data = [];

    var dataPoints1 = [];
    var dataPoints2 = [];
    var dataPoints3 = [];

    var dataSeries1 = { type: “line” };
    var dataSeries2 = { type: “line” };
    var dataSeries3 = { type: “line” };

    for (var i = 0; i <= allLinesArray.length – 1; i++) {
    var rowData = allLinesArray[i].split(” “);
    if (rowData && rowData.length > 1) {
    if (i != 0) {
    dataPoints1.push({ label:rowData[0], y:parseInt(rowData[1]) });
    dataPoints2.push({ label:rowData[0], y:parseInt(rowData[2]) });
    dataPoints3.push({ label:rowData[0], y:parseInt(rowData[3]) });

    }
    }
    }

    dataSeries1.dataPoints = dataPoints1;
    dataSeries2.dataPoints = dataPoints2;
    dataSeries3.dataPoints = dataPoints3;

    data.push(dataSeries1);
    data.push(dataSeries2);
    data.push(dataSeries3);

    var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart(“chartContainercool”,{
    backgroundColor: “#e5ecf0”,
    animationEnabled: true,
    zoomEnabled:true,
    zoomType: “x”,
    title: {
    text: “cool Data”
    },
    axisX:{
    labelAngle: 0,
    labelWrap:true,
    labelAutoFit: false,
    labelFontSize: 15,
    labelMaxWidth: 200,
    labelAngle: -30,
    labelFontColor: “black”
    },

    data: [
    {
    indexLabelPlacement: “outside”,
    name: “X-Axis”,
    indexLabelFontWeight: “bold”,
    indexLabelFontColor: “black”,
    legendText: “X-Axis”,
    showInLegend: true,
    color: “orange”,
    type: “line”,
    dataPoints: dataPoints1
    },
    {
    indexLabelPlacement: “outside”,
    name: “Y-Axis”,
    indexLabelFontWeight: “bold”,
    indexLabelFontColor: “black”,
    legendText: “Y-Axis”,
    showInLegend: true,
    color: “green”,
    type: “line”,
    dataPoints: dataPoints2
    },
    {
    indexLabelPlacement: “outside”,
    name: “Z-Axis”,
    indexLabelFontWeight: “bold”,
    indexLabelFontColor: “black”,
    legendText: “Z-Axis”,
    showInLegend: true,
    color: “blue”,
    type: “line”,
    dataPoints: dataPoints3
    },

    ]
    });

    chart.render();
    }
    }
    });

    Hi Again,

    this is my code working fine right now :)

    how can i update the chart using txt file as source as in my code ?
    (the text file will raise continously)
    Can you help me with changing my code ?

    $(document).ready(function () {

            $.ajax(
                {
                    type: "GET",
                    url: "share/cool_1.txt",
                    dataType: "text",
                    success: function (data) { processData(data); }
					
                });

	function processData( allText ) {
		var allLinesArray = allText.split("\n");
		if( allLinesArray.length > 0 ){

                    var data = [];

                var dataPoints1 = [];
                var dataPoints2 = [];
                var dataPoints3 = [];
				var dataPoints4 = [];
				var dataPoints5 = [];
				var dataPoints6 = [];
				var dataPoints7 = [];
                    
                var dataSeries1 = { type: "line" };
                var dataSeries2 = { type: "line" };
                var dataSeries3 = { type: "line" };
				var dataSeries4 = { type: "line" };
				var dataSeries5 = { type: "line" };
				var dataSeries6 = { type: "line" };
				var dataSeries7 = { type: "line" };

                    for (var i = 0; i <= allLinesArray.length - 1; i++) 
					if (!(allLinesArray[i].indexOf('#') !== -1))
					{
                        var rowData = allLinesArray[i].split(" ");
                        if (rowData && rowData.length > 1) {
