    JavaScript can read the contents of files of type "text/html" (to a point) but not files of type "text/plain".

    You can use perl for this.

    Are you trying to read a text file on the client machine using javascipt from within the browser? If so, this is not possible due to the browsers security.

    If you are using WSH (windows script host) check this out
