I have an HTML5 page (index.html), and I need to display the contents of a .txt file (p001wide.txt). Both are on the server in the same directory.
The text file is generated from a CMS, so I cannot change the format of that file.
In the .txt file is a variable named widetxt. I need to display the contents of the widetxt variable on the page.
What do I need to do to parse the the textfile and display it in the HTML page?
Do I need to use javascript, and if so, how?
Hm, I found this question which appears to be similar to yours as far as reading a file goes. As for parsing though why not use a database such as MySQL to store your data? This way you can quickly add and query through your data.
