从Node.js v0.12和Node.js v4.0.0开始，有一个稳定的readline核心模块。下面是从文件中读取行，不需要任何外部模块的最简单方法:

const fs = require('fs');
const readline = require('readline');

async function processLineByLine() {
  const fileStream = fs.createReadStream('input.txt');

  const rl = readline.createInterface({
    input: fileStream,
    crlfDelay: Infinity
  });
  // Note: we use the crlfDelay option to recognize all instances of CR LF
  // ('\r\n') in input.txt as a single line break.

  for await (const line of rl) {
    // Each line in input.txt will be successively available here as `line`.
    console.log(`Line from file: ${line}`);
  }
}

processLineByLine();

或者:

var lineReader = require('readline').createInterface({
  input: require('fs').createReadStream('file.in')
});

lineReader.on('line', function (line) {
  console.log('Line from file:', line);
});

最后一行被正确读取(截至Node v0.12或更高版本)，即使没有最后的\n。

更新:此示例已添加到Node的API官方文档中。

有一个很好的模块可以逐行读取文件，它叫做行读取器

用它你只需要写:

var lineReader = require('line-reader');

lineReader.eachLine('file.txt', function(line, last) {
  console.log(line);
  // do whatever you want with line...
  if(last){
    // or check if it's the last one
  }
});

如果你需要更多的控制，你甚至可以用“java风格”界面迭代文件:

lineReader.open('file.txt', function(reader) {
  if (reader.hasNextLine()) {
    reader.nextLine(function(line) {
      console.log(line);
    });
  }
});

对于这样一个简单的操作，不应该依赖于任何第三方模块。去容易。

var fs = require('fs'),
    readline = require('readline');

var rd = readline.createInterface({
    input: fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file'),
    output: process.stdout,
    console: false
});

rd.on('line', function(line) {
    console.log(line);
});

2019年更新

Nodejs官方文档中已经发布了一个很棒的例子。在这里

这需要在您的机器上安装最新的Nodejs。> 11.4

const fs = require('fs');
const readline = require('readline');

async function processLineByLine() {
  const fileStream = fs.createReadStream('input.txt');

  const rl = readline.createInterface({
    input: fileStream,
    crlfDelay: Infinity
  });
  // Note: we use the crlfDelay option to recognize all instances of CR LF
  // ('\r\n') in input.txt as a single line break.

  for await (const line of rl) {
    // Each line in input.txt will be successively available here as `line`.
    console.log(`Line from file: ${line}`);
  }
}

processLineByLine();

带载波模块:

var carrier = require('carrier');

process.stdin.resume();
carrier.carry(process.stdin, function(line) {
    console.log('got one line: ' + line);
});

我对缺乏全面的解决方案感到沮丧，所以我把自己的尝试(git / npm)放在一起。复制粘贴功能列表:

Interactive line processing (callback-based, no loading the entire file into RAM) Optionally, return all lines in an array (detailed or raw mode) Interactively interrupt streaming, or perform map/filter like processing Detect any newline convention (PC/Mac/Linux) Correct eof / last line treatment Correct handling of multi-byte UTF-8 characters Retrieve byte offset and byte length information on per-line basis Random access, using line-based or byte-based offsets Automatically map line-offset information, to speed up random access Zero dependencies Tests
