Using a data file as input in tikz
I have a sorted data in a file (named data.dat). These data should be plotted vertically. I prepared a code in latex using tikz that works. The problem is each data is typed one by one in the main body of the code and I need a way in which I call the data file and each data is substituted one by one. Here is my code
documentclass[border= 5 pt]{standalone}
usepackage{times,comment}
usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage{tikz}
newcommand{point}[1]{
draw [<->,purple] ( 0 , #1 ) node[yshift=0,left,font=tiny]{ #1 } -- ( 1 , #1 ) node[yshift=0,right,font=tiny]{ #1 } ; }
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
point{0}
point{1}
point{2}
point{2.5}
point{3.4}
point{4}
point{5.8}
point{6.9}
point{7.5}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
The data file can be download from here.

As pointed out by Henri Menke, you could use pgfplots to plot the data. Assuming you want to use TikZ and your command point instead, you could use pgfplotstable to load and loop over the data. (You won't need begin{filecontents*}{data.dat} ... end{filecontents*} because you already have data.dat, this is just to make it more convenient for others to get the file on their system.)
documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
usepackage{filecontents}
begin{filecontents*}{data.dat}
