the save function saves the content into a variable. And after I print it out all the content of the retrived file is in the end of each other(not line by line).

If the problem is that when you display it, it gets pushed together, that is just because you are putting it into an HTML page, which means that newlines are ignored. You have two options then, either replace all of the newlines with
tags, or put all of your text in a pre tag.
var file = "http://plapla.com/pla.txt"; function getFile()< $.get(file,function(txt)< save(txt.responseText.replace(/\n/g, "
"); >); > // OR var file = "http://plapla.com/pla.txt"; function getFile()< $.get(file,function(txt)< save($("").text(txt.responseText)); >); > If you just want to work with the data line by line, then once you have received it, you can do whatever you like with it, just as splitting in up by line.
var file = "http://plapla.com/pla.txt"; function getFile() < $.get(file,function(txt)< var lines = txt.responseText.split("\n"); for (var i = 0, len = lines.length; i < len; i++) < save(lines[i]); >>); >
