How to get contents of a text file from AWS s3 using a lambda function?

I was wondering if I could set up a lambda function for AWS, triggered whenever a new text file is uploaded into an s3 bucket. In the function, I would like to get the contents of the text file and process it somehow. I was wondering if this was possible...?

For example, if I upload foo.txt, with contents foobarbaz, I would like to somehow get foobarbaz in my lambda function so I can do stuff with it. I know I can get metadata from getObject, or a similar method.

Thanks!
