| bod1467 on Jun 15, 2011 at 1:36:54 PM (# 2) So what have you tried so far?
What technology (language) are you using? (ASP? .NET? PHP? Javascript?)
What format is the file?

This message has been edited.I stored the data in an external file named bardata.js to make it easy to change:
[code]
BarData=new Array(
'Jim~101',
'Tom~42',
'Bob~17',
'George~110'
);
[/code]
Next, a web page to pull it in and display it:
