I am checking URLs status codes in JavaScript. I am able to do it writing code to check status for one by one URL. But I have 100+ URLs which make my code too long if go for all 100+ URLs. Is there any way where I can pass a list of urls in JavaScript using .xls or .txt files which contains all URLs and iterate it.

If you want to do it at frontend, I paste you some link to give you the direction.
the process is read text file ---> check url
- read text file
You can reference this question Reading a text file with jQuery [duplicate] to do the trick.
- check url
You can reference this question Checking if a URL is broken in Javascript.
So with these two reference question, I use a simple pseudo-code to tell you how to combine it and make it work.
function UrlExists(url, cb){
jQuery.ajax({
url: url,
dataType: 'text',
type: 'GET',
complete: function(xhr){
if(typeof cb === 'function')
cb.apply(this, [xhr.status]);
}
});
}
$.get('YOUR_URL_FILE.txt', function(data) {
// here I assume your data is this format:
// url1
// url2
// url3
var urls = data.split('\n');
urls.forEach(function(url) {
UrlExists(url, function(status){
if(status === 200){
// file was found
}
else if(status === 404){
// 404 not found
}
});
})
}, 'text');
Hope it helps you.
