I would like to
C:\>ACommandThatGetsData > save.txt
But instead of parsing and saving the data in the console, I would like to do the above command with Node.JS
How to execute a shell command with Node.JS?
You could also try the node-cmd package:
const nodeCmd = require('node-cmd');
nodeCmd.get('dir', (err, data, stderr) => console.log(data));
On newer versions of the package, the syntax changed a little:
const nodeCmd = require('node-cmd');
nodeCmd.run('dir', (err, data, stderr) => console.log(data));
It does not support Promises
directly, but you can easily wrap them inside one:
const nodeCmd = require('node-cmd');
const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
nodeCmd.run('dir', (err, data, stderr) => {
if (err) {
reject(err);
} else {
resolve(data, stderr);
}
});
});
