Javascript read text file and create table

Expand Post »

Hi,

I got a text file ('testdetails2.txt') and my text file looks something like this:

abc123, 234 pqr,xyz "type"
bc123, 234 pqr,xyz "type"
c123, 234 pqr,xyz "type"
n23, 234 pqr,xyz "type"
aj23, 234 pqr,xyz "type"

As you notice, it has got "," aswell a blank space and "". all i wish to to do is preset the contents of the text file in a nice html table.

Please can someone help?
