Merging two text files to produce another text file using JS

[Nadarajah]

Hi,

I am new to this forum and have very basic knowledge of js.  I would like to merge/combine two files Melody.abc and Chord.abc to produce Melody+Chord.abc. Content of these files are shown below.

What I have done so far is given in the attachment. Some of you might be able to help me to do this more efficiently. Instead of reading the Melody.abc and Chords.abc I have copied  part of Melody.abc and Chords.abc to the js code itself. I would like to know how to read Melody.abc and Chords.abc from within the coding

Thanks

Thiru

JS code should produce this Melody+Chord.abc from the above two
