I am facing an issue where I need lines to be stored in a global array. However, when I compare the values inside the function with those outside the function using console.log, I notice that the inside one works fine but the outside one remains empty. Can anyone guide me on what might be the problem here?
var lines = new Array();
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "posts_replied_to.txt",
success: function(content) {
console.log("success");
lines = content.split('\n');
console.log(lines);
},
error: function() {
console.log("error");
}
});
console.log(lines);
