    As I said in my comment, you cannot return data from an Ajax call, as the Ajax call is asynchronous. You have to make your function accept a callback, like:

    Q.getData = function(file, callback){
    $.get(file, function(data){
        var stringFile = data.split("\n"); 
        callback(stringFile);
    });
};

    and then call it with:

    Q.getData(Q.file, function(d) {
    alert(d);
});

    Regarding the errors: You have a syntax error in this line

    Q.getData = function(Q.file)

    Q.file is not valid here. The browser cannot parse and process the file and so Q will not be defined.

    I have the impression, you should first read some tutorial before you go on.
