有一个很好的模块可以逐行读取文件，它叫做行读取器

用它你只需要写:

var lineReader = require('line-reader');

lineReader.eachLine('file.txt', function(line, last) {
  console.log(line);
  // do whatever you want with line...
  if(last){
    // or check if it's the last one
  }
});

如果你需要更多的控制，你甚至可以用“java风格”界面迭代文件:

lineReader.open('file.txt', function(reader) {
  if (reader.hasNextLine()) {
    reader.nextLine(function(line) {
      console.log(line);
    });
  }
});

另一个解决方案是通过顺序执行器nsynjs运行逻辑。它使用节点readline模块逐行读取文件，并且不使用承诺或递归，因此在大文件上不会失败。下面是代码的样子:

var nsynjs = require('nsynjs');
var textFile = require('./wrappers/nodeReadline').textFile; // this file is part of nsynjs

function process(textFile) {

    var fh = new textFile();
    fh.open('path/to/file');
    var s;
    while (typeof(s = fh.readLine(nsynjsCtx).data) != 'undefined')
        console.log(s);
    fh.close();
}

var ctx = nsynjs.run(process,{},textFile,function () {
    console.log('done');
});

上面的代码基于这个示例:https://github.com/amaksr/nsynjs/blob/master/examples/node-readline/index.js

function createLineReader(fileName){
    var EM = require("events").EventEmitter
    var ev = new EM()
    var stream = require("fs").createReadStream(fileName)
    var remainder = null;
    stream.on("data",function(data){
        if(remainder != null){//append newly received data chunk
            var tmp = new Buffer(remainder.length+data.length)
            remainder.copy(tmp)
            data.copy(tmp,remainder.length)
            data = tmp;
        }
        var start = 0;
        for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
            if(data[i] == 10){ //\n new line
                var line = data.slice(start,i)
                ev.emit("line", line)
                start = i+1;
            }
        }
        if(start<data.length){
            remainder = data.slice(start);
        }else{
            remainder = null;
        }
    })

    stream.on("end",function(){
        if(null!=remainder) ev.emit("line",remainder)
    })

    return ev
}


//---------main---------------
fileName = process.argv[2]

lineReader = createLineReader(fileName)
lineReader.on("line",function(line){
    console.log(line.toString())
    //console.log("++++++++++++++++++++")
})

2019年更新

Nodejs官方文档中已经发布了一个很棒的例子。在这里

这需要在您的机器上安装最新的Nodejs。> 11.4

const fs = require('fs');
const readline = require('readline');

async function processLineByLine() {
  const fileStream = fs.createReadStream('input.txt');

  const rl = readline.createInterface({
    input: fileStream,
    crlfDelay: Infinity
  });
  // Note: we use the crlfDelay option to recognize all instances of CR LF
  // ('\r\n') in input.txt as a single line break.

  for await (const line of rl) {
    // Each line in input.txt will be successively available here as `line`.
    console.log(`Line from file: ${line}`);
  }
}

processLineByLine();

我已经看了以上所有的答案，他们都使用第三方库来解决它。它在Node的API中有一个简单的解决方案。如

const fs= require('fs')

let stream = fs.createReadStream('<filename>', { autoClose: true })

stream.on('data', chunk => {
    let row = chunk.toString('ascii')
}))

我用这个:

function emitLines(stream, re){
    re = re && /\n/;
    var buffer = '';

    stream.on('data', stream_data);
    stream.on('end', stream_end);

    function stream_data(data){
        buffer += data;
        flush();
    }//stream_data

    function stream_end(){
        if(buffer) stream.emmit('line', buffer);
    }//stream_end


    function flush(){
        var re = /\n/;
        var match;
        while(match = re.exec(buffer)){
            var index = match.index + match[0].length;
            stream.emit('line', buffer.substring(0, index));
            buffer = buffer.substring(index);
            re.lastIndex = 0;
        }
    }//flush

}//emitLines

在流上使用此函数并侦听将发出的行事件。
