You can take two aproaches:

1. Use a File Reader source insted of JavaScript Reader source, then modify the transformer adding a new step in which insert your file's content into your database.

2. Use the FileUtil.read method to read file content inside your Javascript Reader source:

    var fileData = FileUtil.read('D:\my_awesome_folder\data.txt');

    //Do something with fileData
