You need to add a dataType:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url : "mytext.txt",
        dataType: "text",
        success : function (data) {
            $(".text").html(data);
            var jsonData = JSON.parse(data);
        }
    });
});

You can use jsonData as data json object format, or use data instead for text format.

You should be able to do this using JSON parser

var a = '[{"symbol":"BPCL","series":"EQ","openPrice":"1,020.00","highPrice":"1,041.95","lowPrice":"1,016.55","ltp":"1,040.55","previousPrice":"1,013.45","netPrice":"2.67","tradedQuantity":"3,76,694","turnoverInLakhs":"3,892.87","lastCorpAnnouncementDate":"13-Jul-2016","lastCorpAnnouncement":"Bonus 1:1"}]';

var jsonData = JSON.parse(a);

alert(jsonData[0].symbol)
alert(jsonData[0].series)
alert(jsonData[0].openPrice)

etc
