FileReader onload with result and parameter

You should use closure at 'onload' handler. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/2bjt7Lon/

reader.onload = (function (file) { // here we save variable 'file' in closure
     return function (e) { // return handler function for 'onload' event
         var data = this.result; // do some thing with data
     }
})(file);

Try wrapping your onload function in another function. Here the closure gives you access to each file being processed in turn via the variable f:

function openFiles(evt){
    var files = evt.target.files;

    for (var i = 0, len = files.length; i < len; i++) {
        var file = files[i];

        var reader = new FileReader();

        reader.onload = (function(f) {
            return function(e) {
                // Here you can use `e.target.result` or `this.result`
                // and `f.name`.
            };
        })(file);

        reader.readAsText(file);
    }
}
