Strings into an array

[point86]

Hi,

Im fairly new to javascript etc so please be patient! :D

Im have a text file which I need to split into strings, and then enter these strings into an arrray.

Thus, I have something like this:

1 hello
2 how are you
3 goodbye

I want to split this into strings (with each line being a new string) and turn this into the following:

a[0] = 'hello'
a[1] = 'how are you'
a[2] = 'goodbye'

Once in the array, the numbers in the original text become unimportant.

Now I know that this can be achieved with an arraylist and possibly a scanner(?). But I dont know the syntax to implement these constructs.

Any help would be much appreciated! :D

Thanks

Point86.

How will u open ur file?
Do u think Javascript supports file handling?

And, more so, I don't know what you're trying to accomplish.

I concur, what you're doing doesn't make sense. Nonetheless, you can use PHP to read the file and generate a JS array in your document.
