util is undefined

Question

I am tring to read a text file with adobe scripts I am doing it in photo shop using extend scripts in visual studio code. When i try to launch i am getting the following error. I am guessing it is missing the referance to the utilites but i dont know how to add them.

function readFileToText(input) {

//let file = input.files[0];

//Read file data into stream

var stmFileData = util.readFileIntoStream(input);

// Convert data into a String

var strTextData = util.stringFromStream(stmFileData);

alert(strTextData);

}

Where did you find this script? Its probably for Acrobat as that is an Acrobat JS function, not Photoshop.
