How to import information from a text file into html or javascript

[Raj.Kumar]

I'm currently working on creating a website that needs to access the text stored in a text file and parse it into a data structure. I would like to use a javascript function or an html tag to include or call the file so that I can parse it. However, I can't seem to find a good way to do it. Any suggestions?I'm not sure how to be more specific, but perhaps some pseudocode might help. Current code would be along these lines:\[code\]mylist = new Array();function myfunc(){ var str = [get information from website]; mylist.push(str);}\[/code\]That is, if the website has the following text:\[code\]"<tag attr=str attr=str>text</tag>"\[/code\]The newest (or last) element of mylist would be \[code\]"<tag attr=str attr=str>text</tag>".\[/code\]Thanks!edit: Thanks for the quick responses. I was trying to steer away from jquery (actually, I'm implementing angular in the site), but I was trying to use a native javascript method as opposed to a library. Judging from the responses, there isn't one. Thanks for your help!
