Read file javascript

[Kallikratidas]

How can I read data from a file with the File object?

When I call the new File(………)
or new FileReader(………)

I get an error.

Even though, I would like to know how to read a file with file Reader, because I know how to open a file object with it, not a specific url or path.

Hi,
The file reader is not complicated, you need to specify the file encoding in the options.

Example
//var txt = app.ReadFile( "sdcard/DroidScript/MyApp/MyApp.js", "UTF-8" );
//app.Alert( txt );

Are we talking 'app.ReadFile' or the 'ReadText' method of the File object? Two different things, with two very different reasons for using them.

@John Kallikratidas tried to use the JavaScript File or FileReader object. They don't work on a local filesystem. The DroidScript File object is a third different thing

So something like:
