I have a txt file on mydomain.net/file.txt.How can I read this into an array filecontent where each new line is a element and ignore lines containing //? .
JavaScript
var filecontent=[];
function txtToArray(link){
//code here
}
txtToArray("mydomain.net/file.txt");
document.write(filecontent);
mydomain.net/file.txt
//file.txt
aaa
aa1
aa2
If you're in the browser, you'll have to fetch the file, parse the response as text, split the text into an array of lines, and filter the array for lines that do not start with //, then write the filtered array:
function filterAndWrite(text) {
const arrayOfLines = text.split('\n');
const startsWithDoubleSlash = new RegExp('^//');
const filteredLines = arrayOfLines.filter((line) => !line.match(startsWithDoubleSlash));
document.write(filteredLines);
}
function writeToDocument(link) {
fetch(link)
.then((response) => response.text())
.then(filterAndWrite);
}
writeToDocument('mydomain.net/file.txt');
