How can I get a massive text file into a JavaScript array?

Question

I'm using a list of words with positive and negative sentiment from AFINN to do some text analysis.

Problem is, the list comes in a .txt file in the following format (word on the left, pos vs neg index at right):

casualty    -2
catastrophe -3
catastrophic    -4
cautious    -1
celebrate   3
celebrated  3
celebrates  3
celebrating 3

To work with it, I need it in the following format:

var array = [{word:"casualty",score:-2},{word:"catastrophe",score:-3},{word:"catastrophic",score:-4}, etc etc]

I'd actually prefer to do this once with a shell script, rather than in the browser. Which is why I'm thinking Node.js could come in handy here. But I'm not very familiar with Node.

如果您不太在乎如何将文本读入javascript数组，而您只需要JSON中的AFINN，我在这里找到了一个版本。
