#38559 — Hoe can i read..

   I have some stupid ideas to use javascrpt to (incrementally) read and 
parse an array.

   The bad thing is that file is OUTSIDE any javascript function and i 
see no way to do a generic? "capture"/read/access of data.

   Ideas?

Thanks

There are no files 'INSIDE' a Javascript function.

The only way to access the content of a file is to access it.

============

Now, if the content is a piece of javascript, like:

const myArray = [1,2,3];

You can incorporate it like this:

<script src='myArrayFile.txt'></script>

=========

Otherwise you will have to read it with Javascript fetch()
or xmlhttp, or use serverside code to insert it.

=========

You could dump a text-string in a hidden <textarea> 
and access that with the DOM.

Is this a JSON file?

Define "outside".

Part of an HTML page? Then use the DOM.

Data which needs to be requested using HTTP? The use XHR.

External file? This may involve user interaction. For example see

There is no “javascript”, see my signature.

Your description is too vague to give a recommendation.  What exactly is the 
problem that is to be solved?  Reading data from a source (which one?) or 
processing it?

Could the reply be classified as "priggish"?
