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

Run this code, it will fetch data from file and display in console

function fileread(filename)
{            
   var contents= fs.readFileSync(filename);
   return contents;
}        
var fs =require("fs");  // file system        
var data= fileread("abc.txt");
//module.exports.say =say;
//data.say();
console.log(data.toString());
