Is there a way for JavaScript to read a text file from a server? Any APIs in HTML5 letting you do that? I would like to build a WebGL object viewer but the files should be read from the server.
View 1 RepliesI have a javascript that has a string variable and is hardcoded example: var text = "A,1,2,3";However, i want to read this string from a text file from the server. (The text file is generated using PHP). How to i get this done?I have seen codes on other pages which deal with this topic. Below is an example of the code

I would like to read a csv file that is on the server into a Javascript array but not sure how to do this. It needs to work on more than just IE.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have now learned how to write to and read from .txt files on my server via php, but is it possible to do this with JavaScript? Like that JavaScript writes to the .txt file every second without needing the user to refresh the page to write or read .txt file (with php). 2: Do the same thing with ActionScript 2/3.

View 10 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to read text from a file and then place it into a div using javascript. I read something on the Internet that I would need to have a server side language such as php or perl to do that. Is that true and if so why is that.

All i want to do is simply read from a text file.
I am using ActiveXObject to read a text file using javascrilpt, it is working in IE but when i use in other browsers, it is not working. Code which I have written:
var fText;
var location = "D:\a.txt";
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var tempFile = fso.OpenTextFile(location, 1);
while(tempFile.AtEndOfStream!=true) {
fText = tempFile.ReadLine();
}
The above code is working in IE but not working in other browsers.
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 am uploading text file on html page, that text file lies on desktop and getting updated at every hour. I will keep my html page on server so how will it upload that text file from my desktop ? it is being generated by one cloud sensor .
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been successfully using the following "myAjax" function to load text file information from the server.
ajax.js:
After I load the text file, I store the text "records" into an array by doing something like this:
Where the '}' character is my record delimiter. It could just as easily be ' ' or ' ' or the like.
Again, I am not having any problems doing it this way as it suits my current needs.
Now the question(s)
1. Does the call to read the text data from the external file always read in the entire contents or can I read one line or delimited record at a time and store it to the array directly without the text storage?
2. If the text is always read completely (my suspicion), can I safely delete the "TextInformation" after I convert to the array format? Is there any memory penalty for doing it this way as the text information can be somewhat lengthly and I don't like the idea of having doubled memory usage when I only need the information in array format anyway?
This is the idea I am considering, but I don't know if there are drawback to this method of if there is a better way to accomplish the task.

how to read a text file using javascript line by line and separate from special characters in it. for example
Text.txt has
001203=Line one=abc.html
024353=Line two=xyz.html
092434=Line three=hjf.html
i want each column in an array like { 001203,024353,092434 } so total 3 arrays.
I have the following JavaScript (see below). The script requests an XML file from the server and displays it on the page.
The script works fine when the requested XML file is stored on the same server as the script.
The problem is when I try requesting an XML file from an external server such as the National Weather Service. I get an error. If I take the XML file from the National Weather Service and save it to my server it works. Why can't I use my script to request XML files stored on external servers?
Javascript Code
window.onload = initAll;
var xhr = false;
function initAll() {
document.getElementById("makeTextRequest").onclick = getNewFile;

I need to read xml data from [URL] which is not on my server. Is that possible, without using a php-api-proxy due to cross-domain-policy?
Despite that, the xml from that api is not valid and can therefore not be read.
I am creating an XML document on my page with javascript. My question
is, is it possible to save that xml file on the server (I have write
permissions) only using javascript, ie no server code? This task would
be trivial using server code, but I was wondering if I can do it all
with client code and post backs? Well, any input?
I am trying to read data from server using AJAX XMLHttpRequest.responseText.In received data, there are lot of similar type of characters which has tge value of FFFFFD (65533). I think, all characters which has the value above 127 are converted to default character.

What is desired is to be able to have this portlet access a stored text file (file can be edited so content is subject to change) that will have all the information needed for these announcements. The JavaScript will then write it into a html file. I am a novice at html, and javascript;
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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:
Im writing client-side javascript and I want to do a server side include. There are many server files but only one will be included. These files contain peoples names and phone numbers. This info is packaged as a line of javascript but I can change that packaging if necessary.
The file name to include is being passed as a url parameter: [url]
I know how to parse the url string and stuff the ID number into a javascript variable.
I set <ICODE> foo = "/people/12345.html" </ICODE> and tried <ICODE><!--#include virtual="${foo}" --> </ICODE>
but this did not work.
Is there a way to do this with javascript given that the name of the file I wish to include is contained in a variable? If not, what is the usual way of getting the data in the server file into my client-side javascript?
I have a bar which dropdownbox so transparant, in a way that I could hardly read its text because its overlap my content text and pictures.
But its order superseed the side bar box. I could clearly read its text on the side but hardly read its text on the middle. I am using jquery which I copy from a tutorial video.
What might be the problem? I would like the text could be clearly read in the navigation bar in order word it suppose to be above the content text when I open the navigation drop down box.

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?
I can read text files with scriptableinputstream.read(). But it is not
possible to read binary files containing hex zeros. How do I read
those?
I have a project that I need to read some data from an XML file.
Something like:
However, since JS is a client side script so it can't read from client side, is there any alternate way to do this? I am thinking to create a "Data" class, and many "Data" objects, is this an elegant way to do it?
