Several other threads by the OP show Python code.phinds said:What language are you using?
Then I ask again, can you not just strip off the seconds and milliseconds? I don't know Python but in C and VB.NET this is easy and doing your own plot would be reasonably easy.msn009 said:sorry, i thought the tag would show python and yes it is in python. but these timestamps are within the row itself and i have several hundred rows with this data inside each. i thought of doing it in python so that i can read the file and plot a chart for each.
awk '{print $2}' input filename_goes_here >outputfilename_goes_here
To plot timestamps within a row, you can use a line graph or a scatter plot in a data visualization tool such as Excel or Tableau. You can also use programming languages like Python or R to create a custom plot.
The format of your timestamps will depend on the data visualization tool or programming language you are using. However, most tools and languages can handle timestamps in ISO 8601 format, which is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS. You can also convert your timestamps into a numerical value, such as seconds or milliseconds since a specific starting point.
In most data visualization tools, you can adjust the formatting of your timestamps by selecting the axis or data point and accessing the formatting options. In programming languages, you can use libraries or packages that offer customization options for timestamps, such as changing the date format or adding labels.
Yes, you can plot multiple timestamps within the same row by using different colors or markers for each timestamp. This can help visualize patterns and relationships between the timestamps.
Yes, it is possible to plot timestamps for a large dataset. Most data visualization tools and programming languages have the capability to handle large datasets. However, it may take longer to process and render the plot depending on the size of the dataset.
