Parse Text From External File
Oct 9, 2009
I currently have a web applet in straight up Java that allows for a user to interact with a flowchart. I need to convert it to pure Javascript due to technological restrictions on technologies I can use on the school's servers. My original applet parses information from text files that contain information about courses, descriptions, credit hours, etc. I've been googling to see if there is a way to use Javascript to parse these same files for information, but my google-fu is failing me.So my question -- is it possible to, using Javascript, read information out of an external file?

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.

I'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1
word2
word3
word4
word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..

I'm currently working on a site and need to have a small section that displays 5 or 6 headlines. The same headlines will displayed on various pages and will occassionally be updated.
The site pages are static .html in design and i'd prefer to keep it that way rather than start introducing php for such a minor part of the site.
I am wondering if there is a javascript solution to this, whereby the headlines could be loaded via a .txt / .xml document or something similar?? That way i could just manually update the file and reload it to the server and the headlines would be updated.
I guess i'm think something similar to cushyCMS but that i can implement directly.

I have multiple poems [3 in this trial] (held as external .txt files containing <br> line breaks) that i wish to display at random on each site visit. I don't know how to load them into a specific 'div' area or (if necessary) assign them to a variable.
<script type="text/javascript">
var whichpoem=1+(Math.round(Math.random()*(2)));
var group='/poem'+whichpoem+'.txt';
var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
client.open('GET', group);
client.send();
$.get(group, function(data){
$("body").append(data);
});
</script>

I am putting together a site that uses screen scraping to extract results from a number of search engines. The HTML is downloading fine and I am able to extract search engines results relatively easily using the JQuery .find() function.
My problem is that when the HTML is parsed the browser is firing requests for external resources (i.e. image & video files) that are referenced within the parsed HTML. These resources are not required by my site (I only extract the text results and don't want to display images) and just waste the user's bandwidth.
Is it possible to parse the HTML without evaluating embedded resources?
From using Fiddler and Firebug I have determined that the requests are being made during execution of this function [code]...

I have set up a script on my page which automatically reads the files in a specific directory on the server and displays them in a nice file tree on my website so users can download the files. Here is the script: http://abeautifulsite.net/blog/2008/...ery-file-tree/Here is the script in action on my website: http://ligonier-in.org/onlineservice...ents_test.htmlThe plugin is working fine as far as finding the files and displaying them. However, the root folder where the files are stored is not the directory you would go to to access the actual files.
Long story short, the script is trying to download the file at
http://ligonier-in.org/home/cityofli...pplication.pdf
I need to 'parse' that url and force it to download the file from:
[code]....

I have some Javascript which says this:
Now that is fine when the text is only one line long. Suppose it's longer? What I want to do is have Javascript give the variable contentString its text from a hosted text file in a similar manner to the way Javascript can insert more Javascript using a hosted .js file.
I illustrate what I need to do using some "dummy" javascript:

I'm trying to take the value of a file input field, parse it down to the file name and write the contents into a table cell.
It works, but my regEx isn't quite right
Can someone tell me what's wrong with it?
basically I need everything from the end of the string to the last
right now the expression evaluates to true, not the string.
Code:
<script>
function storeIt(){
var filePath = document.getElementById('Browse').value;
var fileRegExp = /*.*$/;
var fileName = fileRegExp.test(filePath);
document.getElementById('fileTitle').innerHTML = fileName;
}
</script>

I got an [object error] from IE 7.0.5730.11 when moving the <script
src="..." type="text/javascript" /tag from the <headpart to the
<bodysection of a HTML file.
Is not possibile to include Javascript code via <script src="..."
type="text/javascript" /from the <bodysection, instead from the
<headone? If yes, anyone has any idea of which the problem could be?
If not, how can I programmatically include a javascript external file
inside the <bodypart of a HTML file, for example, using Javascript
to some particular native functions?

Looking to parse the XML file a perl script sends back.I wantto get values from specific tags in the XML file. Here is my code:
[Code]...
The code seems to be getting hung up on the dataType: "xml", line because when I comment it out, it goes to the next step and executes the function (although it doesn't do anything). how I can change this or just take a different approach? Let me know if I can provide more information.

I have the following HTML file:
---
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="test.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
Hi There. <a href="javascript:doit()">Click Me</a>
</body>
</html>
---
The following js file:
--
function doit() {
alert("I did it");
}
--
Running htm file locally (double click) gives me security warning (XP
SP 2) but if I then select "allow script to run" everything works fine.
But when I serve page through IIS (localhost) I get a syntax error line
4 char 4. Of course there is no line 4 in the js file.
This HAS to be something simple I am missing but I have tried:
- with and without language attribute in script tag
- relative and absolute paths for the js file
- with and without Mime type for js set in IIS
Only remaining thing I guess it could be is file permissions but
everything has execute on it as far as I can see.

Can anyone explain me why you need to add open and close parenthesis to
a JSON text in order to use eval() to parse it?
For example:
var json = "{a: 'abc', b: 'def'}";
var obj1 = eval("(" + json + ")"); //ok!
var obj2 = eval(json); //syntax error!
why are parenthesis necessary?

<CODE>
testHTML = "<html><head></head><body><ul><li class='targetMe'>TESTING</
li></ul></body></html>";
testGetHTML = $(".targetMe", testHTML).html();
alert( testGetHTML );

I have a small shopping card which has text fields named
quantity_4, quantity_10... (quantity_{orderid_here})
Customer can update quantity fields and then update form by clicking on update button. But then I wanna read all quantity fields, but there are more fields than only quantity.
So it should be something like this I think
for (i=0;i<this.form.items.count-1;i++){
myfield=this.form.items(i)
if insrt(myfield.name with "quantity_")
check every char at myfield.value
}
I am so bad at javascripting so 2 main things i need
to get collection of formfields(how?) and then compare fieldname with a string(how?)

Does anyone know where I can find an ASP server side script written in
JavaScript to parse text fields from a form method='POST' using
enctype='multipart/form-data'? I'd also like it to parse the filename.
<form name='form1' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'
action='sub.asp'>
<input type='text' name='title1' value='value1'>
<input type='file' name='file1'>
</form>
I found a great ASP VBScript for uploading files, but the rest of my
Web site is coded in ASP using JavaScript and I can't figure out a way
to immediately pass the text fields already parsed from server side
VBScript to server side JavaScript.
My ASP code looks like this:
<script language="JavaScript" runat="server">
//I would like to add JavaScript to parse the text field and
filename of file1 here.
</script>
<!--The 3rd party document below parses all fields from the message
content and uploads any file fields it encounters.--->
<!--#include file="aspinclude/upload.asp"-->
<script language="JavaScript" runat="server">
//Add record here (title1, filename from file1).
</script>

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hello, I would like to know if I can load a small text from a external source into a textarea. the external source is a php that will write some clean text depending on the vars received. I know load() can do the job for a div but I don't think it will work for a textarea.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding something that seems relatively simple. When I make changes to CSS in JavaScript using '.style' I'm changing the attribute values of inline CSS. Can I use JavaScript to change the attribute values of rules in an external CSS file? I have no CSS in my html and would like to know if I can grab the values of attributes in an external CSS file using JavaScript.

I'm trying to access data from a .txt file, and parse that data with jQuery. My .txt file is written like this:
&month=November&day=Tuesday&hour=15
If I use jQuery.get() I do see the data but I want to parse through that data so I can get name and value pairs. This is what I used:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.get('http://www.example.com/test.txt', function(data) {
alert(data);
});
