[Gnuplot-info] how to set axis-x data from fifth column in a table?

[sad f. <lal...@ya...>]

My data look like this :

#               title1                  title2                   title3                 
title4               time                  title6
                 1                              22                     333                
4444              55.0123         666666

"time" in coloumn 5 is in seconds.

I would like to plot my data into a very simple graph..
axis-x  ~ column 5 ("time")
axis-y ~ column 6 

Question :
How do i set my axis-x ("time") from  the fifth column?

Below is the script that i use.
Can anyone tell me what command to set the axis-x from the fifth column5
("time")?

gnuplot> set xdata time
gnuplot> set timefmt "%s"
gnuplot>  plot [*:*] [0:30] "abc.out" using 1:7 with linespoints title "xyz"

By reading the documentation for the commands you're already using:

See 'help using'.
