Does any one know to read a text file using XMLHttpRequest. I need to use it to read a .txt file for the inventory of my website.

I don't know the extension of file you get from your website. As usual the extension is JSON and you need to parse it to text by

JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText);

If it's not you can use simple codes 

<script>
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true);
</script>
