Arjen Markus (15 september 2009) The program below will display a table of data like this one:
X Y Z 1.0 1.0 2.0 2.0 1.0 10.0 2.1 1.0 3.0 4.1 3.0 3.0 10.0 -1.0 3.0
It will also display a simple XY-plot of these data and some statistics.
I have been contemplating a program such as this for some time now. The requirements are:
Here is the current program:

Hm. The 'Exit' menu entry is apparently a sub-menu, not a menu command (NEM fixed). That makes it unusable. What exactly is the data format ? CSV ?
LV From the example provided above, I would assume that the data is provided in columns.
AEC The code checks for a comma, semicolon or tab delimeter. If none are found a space is assumed.
