We can make the random data directly in Mathematica
data = Table[Random[], {10}, {2}];
But here I export to a file and Import it back
Export["data.dat", data];
Import["data.dat"]
The extension dat told Export and Import how to behave
Here is a simple animation technique - please not the specification of
PlotRange - without this the picure may jump about.
Do[ListPlot[Take[data, n], PlotStyle -> {PointSize[.02]},
PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}}], {n, 10}]
