    @JonB Okey. I understand. I should use another struct instead of string list, right?

    You should use what the method to set the data expects. That's why I suggested to read the documentation: it is documented quite clearly.

        @suslucoder I already posted a link to charts examples.
        For example: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtcharts-temperaturerecords-example.html
        And you still did not tell us what data you actually want to show and what type of chart you need...

          Hi
          Please show one line from the "C:/Users/ilknu/Documents/QFileDemo/abc.txt"
          so we know how data is. else it's impossible to give any hints on how you can show that in a chart.

                    allLines.append(line);
                    I couldnt get the idea about it. When i do it i get out of index error .And after doing all this things, how can i add my datas to a chart?

                      @suslucoder I did this part. After that, how can i add it to a chart? Like the way create a new chart, append series and it goes like this?

                            You want like

                            for(const QString &entry : list) {

                            series->append(X,Y);  // use num for either xor y or both depending on what you want
                            }

                              This cannot work as QLineSeries does not have such an overload.

                                Good catch.
                                yes its x,y.
                                It was more about num being undeclared at that point in time :)
