Read a file one line at a time in node.js?

Question

I am trying to read a large file one line at a time. I found a question on Quora that dealt with the subject but I\'m missing some connections to make the whole thing fit to

Answer 1

Since posting my original answer, I found that split is a very easy to use node module for line reading in a file; Which also accepts optional parameters.

var split = require('split');
fs.createReadStream(file)
    .pipe(split())
    .on('data', function (line) {
      //each chunk now is a seperate line! 
    });

Haven't tested on very large files. Let us know if you do.
