String as first value

[hajovonta]

I have a sample data where I need to display countries and number of units sold. My data looks like this:

Country,Units_Sold Libya,8446 Canada,3018 Libya,1517 Japan,3322 Chad,9845 Armenia,9528 Eritrea,2844 Montenegro,7299 Jamaica,2428

My first thought was to display it as a bar chart, which a common example. Apparently, eplot is not able to handle strings as the first column. I confirmed the data as the problem when I replaced the first column with a numbered index, it could plot the data.
