Easy!

var ez = require('ez-streams');

var reader = ez.devices.file.text.reader('mystuff.txt')
  .transform(ez.transforms.lines.parser());

// now you can use reader.read(cb) to read one line at a time.

You can also apply further transforms, filter, map, etc. For example:

reader = reader.filter(function(cb, line) {
  cb(null, /^[^#]/.test(line))
}).map(function(cb, line) {
  cb(null, line.toUpperCase();
});

// reader is now a reader which skips comment lines (starting with #) and 
that turns the lines to uppercase..
