Read Text File - Parse - Split - Put In Array

Oct 22, 2009

I am very new to javascript and programming and I need a little direction. I have working a javascript that reads the value of radio buttons and writes them to a text file. My code is at [URL]. The text file has the following format:

Name|Email|Location|Comment|5|5|5|3|2|1|4|5|3|2|0
Name2|Email2|Location2|Comment2|1|3|0|3|2|0|2|5|1|2|3

What I need to do is have javascript read the text file (c: estfile.txt) and put each section of information (name, comments, numbers, etc.) into an array. Then, add the number from each columns up. For example, the first number from Name and the first number from Name1 is 5 +1 = 6. This sum is then added to another array that can be printed on the screen. I know this is a lot of information.

Read Variable From File

Jul 23, 2005

I'm using a java-script in a HTML-page. Part of the script is the line:

var limit = 1136 - 1101;

The value 1136 is a counter and changes permanantly. In VB I can write a
routine which prints the actual value to a fule called COUNTER.TXT.

Can I change my JavaScript in such a way that it reads the value of the file
COUNTER.TXT?

Read File Upload Date With JS?

Feb 28, 2010

I have a form like this:

Code:

<input type="text" id="forename" />
<input type="text" id="surname" />
<input type="file" id="myfile" />

The first two fields obviously contain text data, and the last is a file upload field.I can get the values of the first two fields in JavaScript easily by using:

Code:

var forename = document.getElementById("forename").value;
var surname = document.getElementById("forename").value;

But I don't have a clue how to get the contents of the file uploaded.

If I use:

Code:

var myfile = document.getElementById("myfile").value;

That simply returns the filename of the file, but I want the actual data in the file!Now I realise that the data probably isn't even accessed from the users hd until the form is submitted properly and sent to a server-side script (which I'm not doing), so I probably need a hackish method to make the browser send the contents to the JS function rather than as an extra 'package' to the server.
