One method is try catch. Try also file:///C:/Vignesh Mohanraj/... — Michael Seltene, Dec 14 '17 at 07:44

You can't because of browser cross origin policy.

You'll get this error.

Failed to load file:///C:/Vignesh Mohanraj/vignesh.txt: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https.
