JavaScript file to byte[]

Question

Is it possible to read a file in from a path in JavaScript and create a byte[] of that file?

Answer 1

You guys seem to have completely forgotten mobile platforms and javascript designed to run with no-security flags set what-so-ever. I access my files just fine in my javascript code, which runs on my iPhone. You just cant access the users filesystem, only your own filesystem which is basically a folder isolated from the rest of the system.

Sp his question was perfectly valid. Also - you should look up Javascript blobs (binary large objects) and typed arrays. You can allocate "normal" byte, word and longword arrays in JS - but people rarely use them.
