Stored Data into Array for Line Chart

Hello all,

First post noobie here. I am looking for a method to take a string of values from a stored data file in the format:

{"timestamp":"2018-07-31T18:38:44.613Z","timeinstate":0}
{"timestamp":"2018-07-31T18:38:45.435Z","timeinstate":0}
{"timestamp":"2018-07-31T18:38:46.146Z","timeinstate":0}
{"timestamp":"2018-07-31T18:38:47.069Z","timeinstate":0}
{"timestamp":"2018-07-31T18:38:47.430Z","timeinstate":5}
{"timestamp":"2018-07-31T18:38:47.563Z","timeinstate":5}

And pass this as an array into a line chart to plot my historical saved data. I know this is a dashboard help but the method to get it to an array isn't necessarily a dashboard function. There is not a very good tutorial on this and I have been struggling with it for the past 2 days. Any help would be appreciated (these data points were made up for this example, it could be something like temperature, humidity etc...)

Maybe you can find something helpful from this thread https://discourse.nodered.org/t/more-chart-questions-sorry-folks/1822

Thank you, I got it to work. Instead of storing as JSON I stored at a single line separated by a dash and then just split the messages one at a time using that delimiter and sent to the chart.
