加上上面的一些答案，这个修改后的解决方案对我来说很有效。

<input id="file-upload-input" type="file" class="form-control" accept="*" />

....

let fileInput  = document.getElementById('file-upload-input');
let files = fileInput.files;

//Use createObjectURL, this should address any CORS issues.
let filePath = URL.createObjectURL(files[0]);

....

function readTextFile(filePath){
    var rawFile = new XMLHttpRequest();
    rawFile.open("GET", filePath , true);
    rawFile.send(null);

    rawFile.onreadystatechange = function (){
        if(rawFile.readyState === 4){
            if(rawFile.status === 200 || rawFile.status == 0){
                var allText = rawFile.responseText;
                console.log(allText);
            }
        }
    }     
}

可以证明你已经尝试过了，输入“false”如下所示:

 rawFile.open("GET", file, false);

function readTextFile(file) {
    var rawFile = new XMLHttpRequest(); // XMLHttpRequest (often abbreviated as XHR) is a browser object accessible in JavaScript that provides data in XML, JSON, but also HTML format, or even a simple text using HTTP requests.
    rawFile.open("GET", file, false); // open with method GET the file with the link file ,  false (synchronous)
    rawFile.onreadystatechange = function ()
    {
        if(rawFile.readyState === 4) // readyState = 4: request finished and response is ready
        {
            if(rawFile.status === 200) // status 200: "OK"
            {
                var allText = rawFile.responseText; //  Returns the response data as a string
                console.log(allText); // display text on the console
            }
        }
    }
    rawFile.send(null); //Sends the request to the server Used for GET requests with param null
}

readTextFile("text.txt"); //<= Call function ===== don't need "file:///..." just the path 

-从javascript读取文件文本 -控制台日志文本从文件使用javascript -谷歌chrome和mozilla firefox在我的情况下，我有这样的文件结构:

console.log结果:

在javascript中引入fetch api之后，读取文件内容变得非常简单。

读取文本文件

fetch('file.txt')
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(text => console.log(text))
  // outputs the content of the text file

读取json文件

fetch('file.json')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(jsonResponse => console.log(jsonResponse))     
   // outputs a javascript object from the parsed json

更新30/07/2018(免责声明):

这种技术在Firefox中工作得很好，但似乎Chrome的fetch实现在编写此更新之日不支持file:/// URL方案(在Chrome 68中测试)。

更新2(免责声明):

此技术不适用于版本68(2019年7月9日)以上的Firefox，原因与Chrome相同(安全):CORS请求而不是HTTP。见https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS/Errors/CORSRequestNotHttp。

尝试创建两个函数:

function getData(){       //this will read file and send information to other function
       var xmlhttp;

       if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
           xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();               
       }           
       else {               
           xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");               
       }

       xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {               
           if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {                   
             var lines = xmlhttp.responseText;    //*here we get all lines from text file*

             intoArray(lines);     *//here we call function with parameter "lines*"                   
           }               
       }

       xmlhttp.open("GET", "motsim1.txt", true);
       xmlhttp.send();    
}

function intoArray (lines) {
   // splitting all text data into array "\n" is splitting data from each new line
   //and saving each new line as each element*

   var lineArr = lines.split('\n'); 

   //just to check if it works output lineArr[index] as below
   document.write(lineArr[2]);         
   document.write(lineArr[3]);
}

为了通过JavaScript使用chrome读取本地文件文本，chrome浏览器应该运行参数——allow-file-access-from-files来允许JavaScript访问本地文件，然后你可以像下面这样使用XmlHttpRequest读取它:

var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
   if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
       var allText = xmlhttp.responseText;          
            }
        };
xmlhttp.open("GET", file, false);
xmlhttp.send(null);
