Reading External Text File - Load The Content Of The File Into A Variable In Script

Jul 16, 2010

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..

Reading File Content

Dec 20, 2003

The questions "Can I read a file... " show up on the regular basis. The answer to accessing files on the same domain is the XMLHTTP object. Following is a simple wrapper that accounts for differences in Gecko and IE5.5+ implementation and returns the content of a file in a string, or null if an error occured:

function getFile(filename)
{ oxmlhttp = null;
try
{ oxmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
oxmlhttp.overrideMimeType("text/xml");
}
catch(e)
{ try
{ oxmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch(e)
{ return null;
}
}
if(!oxmlhttp) return null;
try
{ oxmlhttp.open("GET",filename,false);
oxmlhttp.send(null);
}
catch(e)
{ return null;
}
return oxmlhttp.responseText;
}

Reading A Text File With Node.js?

Sep 12, 2011

I'm trying to read a text file with node.js. This text file is a line of just numbers. I add every line to an array as a string. What I want to do is make it so every element in the array is only one number in the text file. When I use the split function with (" ") it doesn't work correctly; it prints out a string as all the numbers in the text file. how would I delimit this text file with every space or new line.

var fs = require('fs');
var array = fs.readFileSync("10_01.txt").toString().split(" ");
for (var ind = 0; ind<array.length; ind++)

[code]....

Is there a better way to do this because at the moment it doesn't seem to display what I want?

Error Reading Text File In HTML 5

May 25, 2011

I have written the following code to read contents of a text file using FileReader object of HTML 5 for Google Chrome.

<script>
function handle_files(files) {
var i;
if (checkBrowser("Chrome")) {
for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
file = files[i];
var reader = new FileReader();
ret = [];
reader.onload = function (e) {
console.log(e.target.result)
}reader.onerror = function (stuff) {
console.log("error", stuff)
console.log(stuff.getMessage())
}text = reader.readAsText(file[i]);
alert(text);
}}}
</script>
<input type="file" multiple="multiple" onchange="handle_files(this.files)">

Unfortunately, the variable text always displays as undefined. Everything above the line text = reader.readAsText(file[0]); works fine. Is there any other solution to read a text file using HTML5/JavaScript on Chrome?

External File The LoadTabs Variable Will Not Allow To Pass It A Variable

Dec 1, 2009

I start outside of the external JS file by: reviews.init(); reviews.initialiseContent('comment'); This loads my data and loads + sets the comment tab as default. My problem is that in the external JS file (shown below) the loadTabs variable will not allow me to pass it a variable: contentDiv.onclick = this.initialiseContent; Whenever I pass a variable here it errors, am I setting this up correctly, should I be using prototype for my this. variables? Interested to hear back on if this structure of code is the right way to go about this and also how I can pass a variable in this way :)

Jquery :: Load External File Into Textarea

Jun 17, 2009

How to load the contents of an external file and put it into a textarea.

I can put the contents into any other HTML element, but not text area.

For example:

I actually know why the above textarea example doesn't work, but I do not know how to get the contents of load() into a variable that I can use in val() for the textarea.

Perhaps I shouldn't be using load(), but I have equal issues using any other method--I simply can't get a value in a form that can be applied to val().
