Get Data from Text File to Multidimensional Array Javascript -

i have little bit of issue javascript function needs read info textfile (something js limited with) , process tha textfile info multidimensional array (another thing js doesn't nativelly suport).

with in mind, have text file in format:

1, name, data, serial 2, name, data, serial 3, name, data, serial

and on.

so, objective same info , set it, that, array.

i suppose that, i've been reading, need array of array, segmenting first 1 lines [/n] , sec 1 commas [,]. however, given "by-default" limitations, i'm confused @ point. suppose need jquery, however.

i tried this:

var fs = require('fs'); var array = fs.readfilesync('file.txt').tostring().split("\n"); for(i in array) { var array = fs.readfilesync('file.txt').tostring().split(","); for(f in array) { } }

with little success, because don't know how store it, objective beingness multidimensional array replicates format of text file, latter used search index or instance next user input results.

i appreciate help.

at first glance seems trying read in csv file. if indeed case recommend node-csv:
