Hi, this is something that I simply can't do due to my (less than) minimal 
knowledge of Javascript.

The idea is that, since emscripten programs can't acess the local file 
system, maybe we can add, through a custom shell (= html file), a button 
(or some kind of drag and drop area) where the user can pass a file of his 
local file system.

Then, that file is read by Javascript and turned into a char array and then 
a method is called from Javascript into C++ that can read it.

Is this approach viable ?

This is the html code I've found so far:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
>
<html>
>
<head>
>
</head>
>
<body>
>
<!--multiple is set to allow multiple files to be selected--> 

<input id="myfiles" multiple type="file">
>
<div id="your-files"></div>
>
</body>
>
<script>
>
var pullfiles=function(){ 
>
    // love the query selector
>
    var fileInput = document.querySelector("#myfiles");
>
    var files = fileInput.files;
>
    // cache files.length 
>
    var fl=files.length;
>
    var i=0;
>
   

while ( i < fl) { 

        // localize file var in the loop
>
        var file = files[i];
>
        alert(file.name);  // Here we should read the file and pass it to 
> emscripten
>
        i++;
>
    }    
>
}
>
// set the input element onchange to call pullfiles
>
document.querySelector("#myfiles").onchange=pullfiles;
>
</script>
>
</html>
>
 
Can somebody help me to fill the
 gaps ?
