How to send a text file to elasticsearch with rest api

[atline]

I have a log file which I want to send to elasticsearch.

log.txt:

abc
de
fg

The problem is:

1. If I use filebeat, it will treat every line as a document. Of course, I could set some multiline regular expression, but here no special rules I could give because file contents are different from files to files.

2. Then, I tried to send the whole contents of files to elasticsearch like next:

    curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/text/article/2' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '
    {
        "my_text":"abc\r\nde.\r\nfg\r\n"
    }'
   

My question is, do we have some command which could directly send a text file's contents to elasticsearch? Or any sdk could help me?
