Extracting data from a comma delimited text file using JSON is easy. The part you need to figure out is how much time passes between each move. There are some good resources in the user manual on using JSON files and animating with data. For us to help you on the forum, we need to understand exactly what you want to do in detail. For example, if you said I have a spreadsheet with the price of a stock over the last 12 months and I want to animate a bar chart that shows that change over seven seconds, we could come up with an expression that would do that.

 

This is a decent tutorial on the process:
