JavaScript - >> Reading Text File Using Javascript
Somebody had posted this query on how to read text files using JavaScript.......can't find that post now...
Anyways, though it's not possible to read text-files using JavaScript it is possible to read XML files using it. Here is an XML based JavaScript Ticker http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/xmlticker.htm It works only on browsers supporting XML (IE) Enjoy! Similar TutorialsHi I have written the following code to read contents of a text file using FileReader object of HTML 5 for Google Chrome. Quote: <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. How can I fix it?. Or is there any other solution to read a text file using HTML5/JavaScript on Chrome? Thanks in advance. Dear frnd I wanna read on html page , and i have script : " [I]<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function Read() { var Scr = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var CTF = Scr .OpenTextFile("C:\\123.txt", 1, true); data = CTF .ReadAll(); document.write("<pre>" + data + "</pre>"); CTF .Close(); } </script> </head> <body onLoad="Read()" > </body> </html> [I] " But as its using activex control not allowing in all browser . Have you any other way with pure js to read the file contains ? or allowing activex in all browser ? Hey guys, 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.. Can anybody help me with that? Thanks Alot, Ran Hi all, How can i read CSV data from the text file using Java Script.Please give me the script for the problem. Thanx, Nari Hello, I am building a web application that has quotes on it. I am planning on having all the quotes stored in a .txt file. A line space would separate the quotes. Example: "Blah Blah" "Idk what blah" "sure you do" Would this be using Javascript to pull the quotes from the txt file for use in my page be best? I need it to pull all the quotes. Reason for having it like this, I am also planning on having a random quote page where it just pulls 1 quote instead of showing all of them. I'm also open to other ideas here! David Faircloth Im trying to use javascript to search a text file. text file is like this... 1111111[TAB]Project Name[TAB]Application1 2222222[TAB]Project Name[TAB]Application2 Im trying to get the javascript to let a user search for number or project name, if found it displays all the info if found. application1 or application2 (whatever is in the 3rd area) The text file can also be seperated by commas, either way is fine. can anyone help with this. ? Hello, i m new Javascript but knows basics of functions etc. ive created a website, which also has field to Submit Email addresses for newsletters.. Now, i have a TextBox (for users to write email addresses) and a Submit button in which i want to call a Javascipt script function which OnClick takes the value(email address) from the textbox and saves it to a .txt file on server. i think i am just missing a single line, the function name which will store the value.. i searched ovr the net but didnt find it.. plz help mee. Thankyou! hi, i want to create a extension for chrome using which i can save the current tab url in a text file. thanks sanjay i am thinking of using a xml file as a data base for example , the xml file stores a list of reference numbers which is allocated to a url or a name such as 0123456789 and i have a text box on a webpage and the user types in a reference number and the javascripts reads the xml file to check if its a valid reference number i.e a registered number i am new to working with xml etc... so would be nice to have a little help here EXAMPLE <DATA> <REF> <0123456789>JOE</01234567890> <1111111111>www.google.com</1111111111> </REF> </DATA> id like it to read the specific data thats contained within the tag such as 0123456789's tag = JOE Hi I'm reading a text file, manipulating the string that I've read, and then writing to a new text file called temp. The error that I am getting is basically reading past the end of the file. function SpaceFileEntries() { fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); filename = "NDELPROF.txt"; path1 = document.getElementById("lblDataOutputDirectory").innerText + "\\" + filename; path2 = document.getElementById("lblDataOutputDirectory").innerText + "\\temp.txt"; s = fso.OpenTextFile(path1); j = fso.CreateTextFile(path2 , true); do { text = s.readLine(); partOne = text.substring(0,34); lastPart = text.substring(35, 54); space = " "; j.write(partOne); j.write(space); j.writeline(lastPart); } while ( text != null ) s.Close(); j.Close(); } Can someone please help me find this bug in the code. I know it's got to do with the while statement, but can't think or find good alternatives. Thanks. Daniel Hi I have a large'ish project under development. The code below distills the problem I am having. In essence, I am trying to read in an XML file. It appears to load okay but when I try to count how many there are of a certain tag (The "Team" tag) I am told that there are zero. This is despite being told that that file loads okay (as the callback function is called). Javascript and the xml file is below. I hope that it is easy to follow. When the page is loaded, the initialize function is called. I first check my browser as I only need this to work on a Mozilla browser (I am using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3). I then load the xml file and the callback function (fileLoaded) is called. I then try to find out how many "Team" tags I have, but get the message that there are zero. Sorry if this is a simple question but I have spent the best part of yesterday trying to get this to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thx G === javascript === Code:

I have a Java Script that displays a Daily Affirmation on a webpage from an array of 365 Affirmations within the same html webpage file. This makes the html file size way too large. So I would like for the java script to read the array from an external text file on the same website server. Please provide me the Code to insert within my script which will read the array from an external text file - and also the format that the array of 365 lines must be typed into the external text file. I am not a Javascript Programmer - and know nothing about Javascript, so please write your reply at my (lack of) knowledge Level. Thank you in advance! Here is the code I am using. <script language=javascript> <!-- Date.prototype.getDOY = function() {var onejan = new Date(this.getFullYear(),0,1); return Math.ceil((this - onejan) / 86400000);} var today = new Date(); var DOY = today.getDOY(); var HL=new Array() //Configure the following array to hold the 365 HLs for each day of the year HL[1]='HL 1 goes here' HL[2]='HL 2 goes here' HL[3]='HL 3 goes here' // Jump to Day 224 of the year for this example only HL[224]='I am surrounding myself with positive and supportive people. When I nurture relationships that give me energy and enjoyment, I mirror my beliefs that I deserve such gifts.' HL[225]='Today I affirm my own worth and value, and discover that the world agrees with me.' HL[226]='I am sowing seeds based on a healthy belief in my own self-worth. My life is flourishing with growing love, contentment, and exciting possibilities.' HL[227]='HL 227 goes here' HL[228]='HL 228 goes here' // Jump to last HL for Day 365 of year - for this example only HL[365]='HL 365 goes here' document.write(HL[DOY]) //--> </script> Hi there! I'm having a little bit of trouble, I've read through tutorials on parsing XML to Javascript and such, but the XML file I'm working with is very different to the ones the tutorial showed me. Normally it'd be like Code: <here> <there></there> </here> But the one I'm wanting to work in looks like this: Code: <rowset name="names" columns="name"> <row name="this"> <rowset name="fun" columns="name"> <row name="that"> </rowset> </row> </rowset> To make it more clear, my question to you is: How can I parse <row name="that"> where only we only have <row name="this"> hi, (JAVASCRIT) the actual program reads and prints values from a checkbox tree and this piece of code does it. Code: dhtmlXTreeObject.prototype.getAllChecked=function(){

return this._getAllChecked("","",0);
}

I've looked on several websites and several threads here regarding writing and reading cookies with javascript, and I just can't seem to get it to work. All I want is a simple text box with 2 buttons: Save and Recall. Text entered into box is saved to a cookie when "Save" is pressed, and at a later date when "Recall" is pressed the saved text will show up in the box. Can you help please? All -- I have a JavaScript config file called gameSetting.js which contains a bunch of variables which configures a particular game. I also have a shared JavaScript library which uses the variables in gameSetting.js, which I include like so: <script type="text/javascript" src="gameSetting.js" ></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="gameLibrary.js" ></script> In gameSetting.js I have: $(document).ready(function() { // call some functions / classes in gameLibrary.js } in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, this works fine. However, in IE, when it's parsing gameSetting.js, it complains that the functions that live in gameLibrary.js aren't defined. When it gets to parsing gameLibrary.js, the variables in gameSetting.js are reported as not being defined. I've tried dynamically bootstrapping the gameLibrary file using this function in document.ready for dynamic load... $.getScript("gameLibrary.js"); However, the same problem still happens in IE, where when it parses the files individually it's not taking into context the file/variables that came before, so it's not an out of load order problem. My options a 1) collapsing all the functions in gameLibrary.js and variables in gameSetting.js into one file. However, this is not practical because this is dealing with literally hundreds of games, and having a gameLibrary.js in ONE location for ONE update is what makes most logical sense. 2) figure out a way to get this to work where variables in file1 are accessible to file2 in IE (as it seems they are in other browsers). jQuery seems to be able to have multiple plugins that all refer to the based jQuery-1.3.2.js, so I know there is a way to get this to work. Help appreciated. Nero As of right now I have a code that will work in IE but wont work in FireFox...go figure. Basically what I want to have happen is when you type in an area code it will provide an output in a predetermined area of the page. For Example: Input- 512 Output - Austin, TX The code that I have doesn't work with firefox and I was just wondering if there was a code that would allow that to happen. Thanks! I can get this code to take two separate sections of a file which are not beside each other and write them into another file. It always comes up as a single full line of the code instead of the sections I want. The code includes the student number first name last name and three results of assignments. I want the code to write the student number and three results of all the students into a file and then work out the average of the student results. Can you help? Code: try{
while (in.hasNextLine())
{
String line = in.nextLine();
out.println( line);
int i=0;
if(!Character.isDigit(line.charAt(i))) { i++; }
studentStringNumber = line.substring(0, i);
String stringResult = line.substring(i);
studentStringNumber = studentStringNumber.trim();
stringResults = stringResults.trim();
double stringResultsValue = Double.parseDouble(stringResults.trim());
stringResults = in.nextLine();
studentStringNumber = in.nextLine();
studentNumber = Integer.parseInt(studentStringNumber);
if(in.hasNextInt())
{
int value = in.nextInt();
}
results = Double.parseDouble(stringResults);
if(in.hasNextDouble())
{
double value = in.nextDouble();
}
Scanner lineScanner = new Scanner(line);
studentStringNumber = lineScanner.next();
while(!lineScanner.hasNextDouble())
{
studentStringNumber = studentStringNumber+ " " +lineScanner.next();
}
stringResultsValue = lineScanner.nextDouble();
}
}
Hi i am using javascript for the first time and i have a problem .I have 2 files html and javascript file in seperate but i donot know how to make them work .the code is down below .Thanks in advance for help.

I got the html file to show but none of the text in the file will show.
