With jQuery you can do something like this

  $.get("textFile.txt", function(data) {
      var items = data.split(',');
  });

You may need something like this though

var items = data.replace(/"/g, '').split(',');

This is a start.

If this is a user input file then you may need to upload it before you work with it.
