Discussion on: Need help in Populating HTML Table from a file

[debbiswas]

Thanks Edward for reaching out. I see that it fetches exactly same values as in text file inside filter callback. Also its datatype is string for each values

[Edward Ellsworth]

So, if the values are exactly the same, the filtered array wouldn't be empty. I'd try adding more to the console.log statement. For example:

console.log(value, value == "p");

If this outputs something like p, false then my guess is the value variable has a phantom space around it. You could test that with something like:

console.log('xx' + value + 'xx');

If there's a phantom space, you should see something like "xxp xx" or "xx pxx"

Thank you Ellsworth for your response . I tried putting above checks and see that condition return false but strangely there is no phantom space even.

[Edward Ellsworth]

Hmm. I'm curious, if you do console.log(lineByline) what does it display? Or maybe console.table(lineByline)?

[debbiswas]

thank you for your response. Attaching the response for console.log(line) , lineByline and console.table(lineByline) inn sequence.

[Edward Ellsworth]

I'm not sure what, but something is off about your array. Console.table is only showing the index. Unless this is a browser quirk I'm not aware of, it should be showing corresponding values.

[debbiswas]

Yes may be browser issue. Let me then try in different browser and check. Thanks
