How to read from a text file

[rameshperiya]

Hi all,

I have some comma separated text in a text file. Is it possible to read the text file using javascript? If it is possible, is it possible to shell these data (text data are powerpoint file names, .pps) on click with powerpoint software (I dont want to run the file in IE or the browser)

Please help me!!!

No, it's not possible to read or write to a file with javascript or html, for this you have to use server side languages like PHP,Perl etc.
