Display .txt file in an HTML web page










-1















Here is what I have so far I need to use a .txt file as I have a node js app powering it that relies on it also I am using the .ejs file extension for the HTML code.






<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Currnet button count</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<p><iframe src="count.txt" frameborder="0" height="400"
width="95%"></iframe></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

You can do so with NodeJS. Create a file, file.js:



var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');

var file = fs.readFile('count.txt', function(err, data)
if (err)
throw err;

else
http.createServer(function(req, res)
res.write(data);
).listen(8080);

);


When you run this using the shell command:



node file.js


Then you can go to http://localhost:8080 and it will be displayed there.
