Hello, from the above snippet of code, I am trying to read in the variables from each parsed row in the excel file (the code takes an excel file and prints all the data by row), the best way to describe what I want would probably be something like this in c++(only way I know how to communicate).
void read(string fileName) {
// assume int a,b,c are already declared
// assuming first row of parsed data is vector
for (int i = 0; i < rows.size(); i++) {
a = vector[i][0];
b = vector[i][1];
c = vector[i][2];
// code for thing I am doing here(doesnt matter)
}
}
Is there something like this in javascript or a different method potentially?
I believe that I figured out the answer to my question.
// to access a specific element, I need to do something like this
var obj = JSON.parse(json_object);
a = obj[0]["value"];

I have a problem with a little site (it's intended to work as a local site) I try to create.
I want it to print text from local txt file onto the page. I want it to display it like this one,
<script type="text/javascript">
var arr = ['Heading 1','Para1','Heading 2','Para2','Heading 3','Para3'];
var result = arr.map((val, i) => i%2===0 ? `<h2>${val}</h2>` : `<p>${val}</p>`).join('');
document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = result ;
</script>
but I want it to do it from a file, like this one
<script>
var fileInput = document.getElementById('inputfile');
fileInput.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
var file = fileInput.files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
document.getElementById('output').innerText = reader.result;
};
reader.readAsText(file);
});
</script>
I tried to merge them together like this
<script>
var fileInput = document.getElementById('inputfile');
fileInput.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
var file = fileInput.files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = reader.result.split("\n").map((val, i) => i%2===0 ? <h2>${val}</h2> : <p>${val}</p>).join('');
};
reader.readAsText(file[0]);
});
</script>
But something is still not working right (after choosing the file to read, it does nothing) and I am not sure what am I doing wrong. I am green in javascript, so I would appreciate any help in that matter.
Actually, now that I read that again - the only issue with your example is you were using file[0] instead of file
<input type="file" id="inputfile" />
<p id="output"></p>
<script>
var fileInput = document.getElementById('inputfile');
fileInput.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
var file = fileInput.files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = reader.result.split("\n").map((val, i) => i%2===0 ? `<h2>${val}</h2>` : `<p>${val}</p>`).join('');
};
reader.readAsText(file); // HERE!
});
</script>
I have a requirement where I have to read the file and plot the data using javascript. My file will be updated often so i need to read it every time before plotting.
I have written code to do it once i.e., reading the file and store the data js variables.
index.html
<input type="file" id="csvFileInput" onchange="importData(this.files)"accept=".csv">
fileRead.js
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<body>
<input type="file" id="csvFileInput" accept=".csv" onchange="importData(this.files)"><br>
<input type="submit" id="Pfit" value="fit">
<script>
var F_load = [];
var v = [];
var csvpoints = [];
function importData(files){
k = files
handleFiles(files);
// plotGraph("div1",F_load, v);
Pfit.disabled = false;
}
function handleFiles(files) {
// Check for the various File API support.
if (window.FileReader) {
// FileReader are supported.
getAsText(files[0]);
} else {
alert('FileReader are not supported in this browser.');
}
}
function getAsText(fileToRead) {
var reader = new FileReader();
// Read file into memory as UTF-8
reader.readAsText(fileToRead);
// Handle errors load
reader.onload = loadHandler;
reader.onerror = errorHandler;
}
function loadHandler(event) {
var csv = event.target.result;
processData(csv);
}
function processData(csv) {
var allTextLines = csv.split(/\r\n|\n/);
var lines = [];
for (var i=1; i<allTextLines.length; i++) {
data = allTextLines[i].split(';');
csvpoints.push(data);
F_load.push(data[0]);
v.push(data[1]);
}
console.log(F_load);
}
function errorHandler(evt) {
if(evt.target.error.name == "NotReadableError") {
alert("Canno't read file !");
}
}
const fitButton=document.getElementById('Pfit');
fitButton.addEventListener('click',event => {
var k = document.getElementById("csvFileInput").file
importData(k)
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
However, it works for the first time. but when i tried to access for the second time it errored out at getAsText(files[0]); . Could anyone help me on this.
I'm trying to read a html file from client computer and load its body content to a div. However, I'm not sure about the correct way to do that. I tried apply these to an uploaded file:
$('#theFile').on("change", function () {
var file = (this).files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
str = e.target.result;
slides = new Array(1);
var pattern = new RegExp(/<body[^>]*>((.|[\n\r])*)<\/body>/im);
var res = str.match(pattern).join();
console.log(res);
$('#slide').html(res);
slides[0] = res;
};
reader.readAsText(file);
});
The res is an array with 3 elements so I joined them together. Is there better solutions which don't engage with regular expressions?
Add a file-input element to the HTML page:
<input type="file" id="file" onchange="readTxT()"/>
And select sample.txt manually:
function readTxT(){
var reader = new FileReader();
var files=document.getElementById('file').files;
var f = files[0];
reader.onload = function(e) {
var text = reader.result;
$(".diagram").text(text);
}
reader.readAsText(f);
}
I am sending data via ajax to post in mysql. In this context how to inlude image file contents ?
If i use like :
var formData = document.getElementById("img_file");
alert(formData.files[0]);
, i get error . Note : img_file is the id of the file dom.
Any idea about this ?
You can use javascript FileReader for this purpose. Here is a sample code demonstration.
<html>
<body>
<input type="file" id="fileinput" />
<div id="ReadResult"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function readSingleFile(evt) {
//Retrieve the first (and only!) File from the FileList object
var f = evt.target.files[0];
if (f) {
var r = new FileReader();
r.onload = function (e) {
var contents = e.target.result;
document.getElementById("ReadResult").innerHTML = contents;
}
r.readAsText(f);
} else {
alert("Failed to load file");
}
}
document.getElementById('fileinput').addEventListener('change', readSingleFile, false);
</script>
</body>
</html>

i think it may help you.
$('#image').change(function () {
$("#add").attr("disabled", true);
var img = this.files[0];
var reader = new FileReader;
reader.readAsDataURL(img);
reader.onload = function (e) {
var file = new Image;
file.src = e.target.result;
file.onload = function () {
$("#height").text(file.height);
$("#width").text(file.width);
$("#imageprev").attr("src", file.src);
$("#upld").removeAttr("disabled");
}
}
});
What techniques are used to load a file (ASCII or Binary) into a variable (var file = "text";) in JavaScript?
You want to use the new HTML5 File API and XMLHttpRequest 2.
You can listen to files being either selected via a file input or drag & dropped to the browser. Let's talk about the input[type="file"] way.
<input type="file">
Let's listen for files being selected.
var input; // let input be our file input
input.onchange = function (e) {
var files = input.files || [];
var file = files[0];
if (file) {
uploadFile(file);
}
};
What you need to create a real multipart file upload request is a FormData object. This object is a representation of the body of your HTTP POST request.
var uploadFile = function (file) {
var data = new FormData();
data.append('filename', file);
// create a HTTP POST request
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', './script.php', true);
xhr.send(data);
xhr.onloadend = function () {
// code to be executed when the upload finishes
};
};
You can also monitor the upload progress.
xhr.upload.onprogress = function (e) {
var percentage = 100 * e.loaded / e.total;
};
Ask if you need any clarification.
If you want to use the new HTML5 way this is how I did it... keep in mind that I made a method called File() and this is not a true HTML5 method its a wrapper to it... this might be changed in the future so beware (maybe rename it).
HTML:
<html>
<body>
<input type="file" id="files" name="file"/>
<button onclick="load()">Load File</button><br /><br />
<div id="content"></div>
<script>
function load() {
var fileObj = document.getElementById("files");
var fp = new File(fileObj);
fp.read(callback);
}
function callback(text) {
var content = document.getElementById("content");
content.innerHTML = text;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript:
function File(name) {
this.name = document.getElementById(name) ? document.getElementById(name).files : name.files ? name.files : name;
}
// Reads the file from the browser
File.prototype.read = function(callback) {
var files = this.name;
if (!files.length) {
alert('Please select a file!?');
return;
}
var file = files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function(evt) {
if (evt.target.readyState == FileReader.DONE) { // DONE == 2
callback(evt.target.result);
}
};
var data = file.slice(0, file.size);
reader.readAsBinaryString(data);
}
Have the JavaScript being generated inside a PHP or Rails (or whatever you use server-side) and include the file.
<?php
$my_string = file_get_contents('/path/to/file.txt');
?>
<script>
var my_js_file_string = "<?php echo $my_string; ?>";
...
document.write(my_js_file_string);
</script>
