Read a file in Node.js

Question

I\'m quite puzzled with reading files in Node.js.

fs.open(\'./start.html\', \'r\', function(err, fileToRead){
    if (!err){
        fs.readFile(fileToRead,         


        

Answer 1

1).For ASync :

var fs = require('fs');
fs.readFile(process.cwd()+"\\text.txt", function(err,data)
            {
                if(err)
                    console.log(err)
                else
                    console.log(data.toString());
            });

2).For Sync :

var fs = require('fs');
var path = process.cwd();
var buffer = fs.readFileSync(path + "\\text.txt");
console.log(buffer.toString());
