// Read the content of argentina.txt (relative to the location of this PHP file)

I want to have it set to 1000 in the JavaScript because that’s the amount of stories that will be added in the end. But when I have 5 stories in the argentina.txt file I want the code to read 1-5, then when I add a new story I want it to read 1-6, etc.
How could I make this work? Would really appreciate some help on this!
