user interface - jQuery UI Autocomplete - get data from txt file

Question

I'm jQuery beginner trying to make jQuery UI Autocomplete get data from txt file. Txt format is simple:

user1
user2
user3
etc.

Code is:

jQuery.get('users.txt', function(usersGet) {
    $( "#userLogin" ).autocomplete( {
        source: usersGet
    });
});

But unfortunately that does not work. Can you please help? Thanks!

The accepted solution did not work for me. This is how I read a .txt for my jQuery autocomplete input field:

$.ajax({
    url: "foo/bar.txt",
    dataType: "text",
    success: function(data) {
        var autoCompleteData = data.split('
');
        $("#input").autocomplete({
            source: function(request, response) {
                var results = $.ui.autocomplete.filter(autoCompleteData, request.term);
                response(results.slice(0, 10)); // Display the first 10 results
            }
        });
    }
});
