Update:

I've fixed the opening of the file. Now I need to parse the file line-by-line looking for the strings and variables I need to create (eg: "dimensions { 168000 225000 } " and "string { columns "6.0" } ").

Here's what I've got:

var openPilFile = File(pilFile);
var pilFileCreated = openPilFile.created;
var pilFileLength = openPilFile.length;
var pilFileEncoding = openPilFile.encoding;
var pilFileExists = openPilFile.exists;
var pilFileLineFeeds = openPilFile.lineFeed;
var pilFileContents = openPilFile.open("r");
var openPilFileContents = openPilFile.read();

	var alertText = "Your .pil file has been opened.";
	alertText = alertText+"\n Length: "+pilFileLength;
	alertText = alertText+"\n Created: "+pilFileCreated;
	alertText = alertText+"\n Encoding: "+pilFileEncoding;
	alertText = alertText+"\n Exists: "+pilFileExists;
	alertText = alertText+"\n LineFeeds: "+pilFileLineFeeds;
	alertText = alertText+"\n Open: "+pilFileContents;
	alertText = alertText+"\n Contents: "+openPilFileContents;
	alert(alertText);
