util is undefined

[jamesf42245324]

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.

What file fuction can i use to open a text file?

Have you considered file.open()?

The issue didn't go away, you just hid the error.
