It seems that you target client-side .

Then if your text file is hosted under the same project where page HTML contains or import the following script :

$.get('/docs/file.txt',{},function(content){

      let lines=content.split('n');



       console.log(`file.txt contains ${lines.length} lines`)

      console.log(`First line : ${lines[0]}`)



});

Assume that if we have the following routing rule :

• http://localhost/ ---> /var/www/html/index.html

/docs/file.txt should follow this rule :

• http://localhost/docs/file.txt --> /var/www/html/docs/file.txt
