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();

如果你想逐行读取一个文件，并将其写入另一个文件:

var fs = require('fs');
var readline = require('readline');
var Stream = require('stream');

function readFileLineByLine(inputFile, outputFile) {

   var instream = fs.createReadStream(inputFile);
   var outstream = new Stream();
   outstream.readable = true;
   outstream.writable = true;

   var rl = readline.createInterface({
      input: instream,
      output: outstream,
      terminal: false
   });

   rl.on('line', function (line) {
        fs.appendFileSync(outputFile, line + '\n');
   });
};

虽然您可能应该像上面的答案所建议的那样使用readline模块，但readline似乎面向命令行接口，而不是行读取。关于缓冲，它也有点不透明。(任何需要流式行阅读器的人可能都想调整缓冲区大小)。readline模块大约有1000行，而这个，加上统计和测试，是34行。

const EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter;
class LineReader extends EventEmitter{
    constructor(f, delim='\n'){
        super();
        this.totalChars = 0;
        this.totalLines = 0;
        this.leftover = '';

        f.on('data', (chunk)=>{
            this.totalChars += chunk.length;
            let lines = chunk.split(delim);
            if (lines.length === 1){
                this.leftover += chunk;
                return;
            }
            lines[0] = this.leftover + lines[0];
            this.leftover = lines[lines.length-1];
            if (this.leftover) lines.pop();
            this.totalLines += lines.length;
            for (let l of lines) this.onLine(l);
        });
        // f.on('error', ()=>{});
        f.on('end', ()=>{console.log('chars', this.totalChars, 'lines', this.totalLines)});
    }
    onLine(l){
        this.emit('line', l);
    }
}
//Command line test
const f = require('fs').createReadStream(process.argv[2], 'utf8');
const delim = process.argv[3];
const lineReader = new LineReader(f, delim);
lineReader.on('line', (line)=> console.log(line));

下面是一个更短的版本，没有统计数据，只有19行:

class LineReader extends require('events').EventEmitter{
    constructor(f, delim='\n'){
        super();
        this.leftover = '';
        f.on('data', (chunk)=>{
            let lines = chunk.split(delim);
            if (lines.length === 1){
                this.leftover += chunk;
                return;
            }
            lines[0] = this.leftover + lines[0];
            this.leftover = lines[lines.length-1];
            if (this.leftover) 
                lines.pop();
            for (let l of lines)
                this.emit('line', l);
        });
    }
}

我有一个小模块，它做得很好，被相当多的其他项目使用npm readline注意，在节点v10中有一个本地readline模块，所以我重新发布了我的模块linebyline https://www.npmjs.com/package/linebyline

如果你不想使用这个模块，函数很简单:

var fs = require('fs'),
EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter,
util = require('util'),
newlines = [
  13, // \r
  10  // \n
];
var readLine = module.exports = function(file, opts) {
if (!(this instanceof readLine)) return new readLine(file);

EventEmitter.call(this);
opts = opts || {};
var self = this,
  line = [],
  lineCount = 0,
  emit = function(line, count) {
    self.emit('line', new Buffer(line).toString(), count);
  };
  this.input = fs.createReadStream(file);
  this.input.on('open', function(fd) {
    self.emit('open', fd);
  })
  .on('data', function(data) {
   for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    if (0 <= newlines.indexOf(data[i])) { // Newline char was found.
      lineCount++;
      if (line.length) emit(line, lineCount);
      line = []; // Empty buffer.
     } else {
      line.push(data[i]); // Buffer new line data.
     }
   }
 }).on('error', function(err) {
   self.emit('error', err);
 }).on('end', function() {
  // Emit last line if anything left over since EOF won't trigger it.
  if (line.length){
     lineCount++;
     emit(line, lineCount);
  }
  self.emit('end');
 }).on('close', function() {
   self.emit('close');
 });
};
util.inherits(readLine, EventEmitter);

自从发布了我最初的答案后，我发现split是一个非常容易使用的节点模块，用于文件中的行读取;它也接受可选参数。

var split = require('split');
fs.createReadStream(file)
    .pipe(split())
    .on('data', function (line) {
      //each chunk now is a seperate line! 
    });

还没有对非常大的文件进行测试。如果有，请告诉我们。

我使用下面的代码读取行后，验证它不是一个目录，它不包括在文件列表不需要检查。

(function () {
  var fs = require('fs');
  var glob = require('glob-fs')();
  var path = require('path');
  var result = 0;
  var exclude = ['LICENSE',
    path.join('e2e', 'util', 'db-ca', 'someother-file'),
    path.join('src', 'favicon.ico')];
  var files = [];
  files = glob.readdirSync('**');

  var allFiles = [];

  var patternString = [
    'trade',
    'order',
    'market',
    'securities'
  ];

  files.map((file) => {
    try {
      if (!fs.lstatSync(file).isDirectory() && exclude.indexOf(file) === -1) {
        fs.readFileSync(file).toString().split(/\r?\n/).forEach(function(line){
          patternString.map((pattern) => {
            if (line.indexOf(pattern) !== -1) {
              console.log(file + ' contain `' + pattern + '` in in line "' + line +'";');
              result = 1;
            }
          });
        });
      }
    } catch (e) {
      console.log('Error:', e.stack);
    }
  });
  process.exit(result);

})();
