How to load data from file – Photoshop

I have a script in Photoshop, but I need one thing. I want to get (parse) the width and height data from a file. How can I do that? File can be txt or xml. I use ExtendScript Toolkit from Photoshop. 

if ( activeDocument.width != 100 || activeDocument.height != 100 ) {
    displayDialogs = DialogModes.ALL;
    activeDocument.resizeImage( 100, 100, 72, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC );
    displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
}

Thanks for help

    I simply want get 2 variables from a file and before code i need var width=(first data in file) and var height=(second data). When i get this i can modifity script to look like: 

    if ( activeDocument.width != width || activeDocument.height != height ) {
    displayDialogs = DialogModes.ALL;
    activeDocument.resizeImage( width, height, 72, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC );
    displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
}

    In your code i have all from that file in one variable "words"

    I’m still a bit confused as what you want.
    However, you can load in a text file as data into Photoshop with this:

    function readIt(fName)
{
    var theFile = new File(fName);

    //read in file 
    var words = [];

    var textFile = new File(theFile);
    textFile.open('r');

    while(!textFile.eof)
    {
      var line = textFile.readln();
      if (line != null && line.length >0)
      {
        words.append(line);
      }

    }
    textFile.close();

    // return array
    return words;
}
