How to break x-axis?

I have data in 2 columns as in the following way to plot.

x-axis : 2 4 6 8 12 infinity
y-axis : 0.5 0.7 0.8 1.2 1.5 1.7

I need a break in x-axis after 12 and before infinity in x-axis. How can i break the x-axis. Please help me in this issue.

What does that mean?

There is a File Exchange contribution named something like breakaxis . I doubt, though, that you could use it to draw at "infinity". Draw at a large number and label it "infinity" perhaps.

I need to show the axis break in the plot. What i mentioned the values above are for example. Is there any way to the axis break. Thank you very much for your help.

There is no method supplied in MATLAB to break an axis. However, the contribution I mentioned earlier fakes it for you.
