Loading an array from .txt file

Question

I need to load an array from a .txt file. It has few strings separated by commas (,).

So far I have found this.

That guy splits it with .split

Just make sure the text file is accessible through an HTTP request on the same domain and you can read it fine. Here's an example where the text file is located in the webroot.

    $(function(){
        $.get('/whatever.txt', function(data){
            var array = data.split(',');
            console.log(array);
        });
    });
