How do I get a script to read lines from Notepad as style names?

Question

Hello, everyone.I want to put a notepad "name.txt" in the same directory as the scripts.The style names used in all my scripts will read the ones set in "name.txt".This way I can change them uniformly at any time.Is there a way to do this? For example, the content of my notepad looks like this, one style name per line.In parentheses ( ) are the style names:paraStname(mypar)charStname(title1)tabStname(mytab)footerStname(footer)objStaname(mypic) Thank you very much.

You can check out a sample code at the following link

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/how-to-read-json-file-in-premiere-cep-extension/m-p/10647827#M229987

Change you input file to a JSON like the following

{
    "paraStname":"mypar",
    "charStname":"title1",
    "tabStname":"mytab",
    "footerStname":"footer",
    "objStaname":"mypic"
}

After executing the script you can access myPic with the code

contentObj.objStaname

Suddenly it worked ......

Thank you good people great good people.

I would like to ask:
alert(objStn); can output "mypic"
alert(contentObj); but not the whole content?

The result is: [object object]

Why?

This is the kind of thing that will unify the settings of all scripts now.

I wonder if it would be a waste of resources and time to call json.jsx and mystyle.json all the first time.

//@include "json.jsx";

var script_folder = script_dir();
var jsonFile = File(script_folder + "/mystyle.json");

jsonFile.open('r');
var content = jsonFile.read();
jsonFile.close();
contentObj = JSON.eval(content);
var objStn = contentObj.objStaname;
alert(objStn);

function script_dir() {
    try {
        return File(app.activeScript).path;
    } catch (e) {
        return File(e.fileName).path;
    }
}

You can read a text file like this: //Text file to opem. Here a file named test.txt on the desktopvar p = File(Folder.desktop + "/test.txt");var t = readFile(p)//an array of lines from the text filevar ta = t.split("
")//the returned arrayalert(ta);//array’s 2nd itemalert(ta[1])/*** Read a text file * @ param path to the file * @ return the text */function readFile(p) {var f = new File(p);f.open("r");  var x = f.read();  f.close();return x; }  The alerts:
