(Closed) Javascript: outputting a .txt file as a string -
so have function takes contents of .txt file , returns string... or @ least should. instead, returns "undefined". however, "console.log(text);" outputs proper text, makes me believe can't convert contents string since has line breaks in it, different text on each line of .txt file. how can convert output string can use .split , convert array (having each line of text in notecard translate separate item in array)? please help!
<script>//_____read_text_file_____ function done() { var filecontents = this.response; var text = filecontents; console.log(text); return text; } function readtxt(filename) { var xmlhttp; xmlhttp=new xmlhttprequest(); xmlhttp.addeventlistener("load", done, false); xmlhttp.open("get",filename,true); xmlhttp.send(); } </script>
