I have a program whose output is stored in a text file , say test.txt
eg.
0\9\10\11|0.50|c:\windows\apppatch/AcLayers.dll
0\9\10\11|0.50|c:\windows\apppatch/AcRedir.dll
0\9\10|0.66|c:\windows\apppatch/AcSpecfc.dll
0\9|0.83|c:\windows\apppatch/iebrshim.dll

After reading this text file i need to extract the float point values from each line ie , 0.50,0.50,0.66.0.83 <http://0.66.0.83> respectively in this case, till the end of the file is reached and then i need to plot a histogram based on these values .

Extracting is easy; you can do something like

    data = []
    for line in open("test.txt"):
        line = line.split("|")
        data.append(float(line[1]))

(or maybe use the csv module with a custom separator)

Plotting is a bit different -- there are many ways to do that, depending on where and how you want to display that histogram (on a website, in a window on your machine, in a PDF file, ...), but most solutions require additional libraries. Here's one such library:
