It would be beneficial if there was a way to read text files from within JavaScript.
For example, a user would like to read a list of filenames from a text file.

Comment 2 Andrew Walker 2007-10-20 01:34:55 UTC 
Is this necessary, or can we simply create a QFile from with JavaScript?
Comment 3 Andrew Walker 2007-10-22 21:40:27 UTC 
Functionality for reading from files is present.

This can always be removed, if we can access a QFile object,
or extended if we want the ability to write to files.
