You'll need to use Filename to reference the file and BaseFile to open and read data from it.
Be aware that file access is not possible with COFFEE scripts in COFFEE/Expression tags or Xpresso nodes. In order to have file access you will need to be writing a COFFEE plugin - a text script in a file with .cof extension stored in the Cinema 4D Plugins folder.

Download the COFFEE SDK documentation. Check the "Plugin Files" and "Plugin Types" sections. There are also examples included. The HTML version is better for having the example files available directly while the CHM (Windows Help) version is better for navigating the documentation.
