how to read csv file from server using javascript - javascript

I am trying to read data from this online database http://coxpresdb.hgc.jp/top_search.shtml#CoExSearch, under CoExSearch. When I enter an id, says 1717, it will give a .csv file. How can I use javascript to read that csv file directly ( just to initalize an array).
Thanks.

I have a separate .json file, I need to iterate over the file or read through the file and do some stuff. How exactly do I do this in Javascript?

I have a folder with an html, css, json, and js file. The js file are a list of person's and what they do. I need to analyze the json file contents using javacript. I know that in C or C++ you can open the file for reading and analyze it, then close it. So, how do I do this in Javascript? And do I need to add the name of the JSON array in the .json file, or should i leave the contents as it is?

Nothing online have worked thus far. Hopefully Stackoverflow can help.
Let's assume you're using nodeJS, you can import the json file using require .
After you've imported the json file, you can access the object as it would be a JS object.
const jsonFile = require("./pathtofile.json")
for(let obj in jsonFile) {
console.log(obj)
}

Batch processing JS code on a Adobe PDF and saving result to a file or csv

What I'd like to do is run a batch process on a bunch of PDF files in a folder. This process would execute a piece of javascript who's result would then be saved in a file/csv along with all of the other responses. Is doing something like this possible?
I've researched batch processes and I know how to create one but I can't figure out how to save data into a file using Adobe JS, and then save EVERY output from EVERY pdf into the same file.
Yes. It's possible... indirectly. Acrobat won't let you just write a CSV file out to disk. However, it will allow you to create a new PDF file and add the CSV string as a file attachment to it. You can then use JavaScript to export the attachment. Part of your batch script will be to open the PDF that holds the CSV output (the "storage" file), get the current CSV attachment as a string, append your data, save it back as an attachment and close the file. You will need to "disclose" the storage file in order to manipulate it via JavaScript from another file. That's all documented in the JavaScript API.

Getting CSV Columns' name using JavaScript

I must upload large files (+1GB) in CSV format. I must check the column names, and I want to do it before upload process. So, I am trying to read the CSV using JavaScript, following
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/
and
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileReader.readAsBinaryString
It work! But I have to read the complete file, and believe me, the files are too large.
My question is: How can I get the CSV columns' name using JavaScript, without reading the entire file?
You can access all kinds of data about a file without passing it to a FileReader. You can get the size of a file by checking file.size.
Check the documentation for File and Blob (File inherits Blob) to see what else is available to you.

Then you'll want to look at this article:

As well as consider some answers on SO:

Personally I like the solution to extract .xls into dataset and then generate you .csv from datatble. (see c# datatable to csv)
