my two pence, using map in place of for-loop

var path = require('path'), fs = require('fs');

var findFiles = function(folder, pattern = /.*/, callback) {
  var flist = [];

  fs.readdirSync(folder).map(function(e){ 
    var fname = path.join(folder, e);
    var fstat = fs.lstatSync(fname);
    if (fstat.isDirectory()) {
      // don't want to produce a new array with concat
      Array.prototype.push.apply(flist, findFiles(fname, pattern, callback)); 
    } else {
      if (pattern.test(fname)) {
        flist.push(fname);
        if (callback) {
          callback(fname);
        }
      }
    }
  });
  return flist;
};

// HTML files   
var html_files = findFiles(myPath, /\.html$/, function(o) { console.log('look what we have found : ' + o} );

// All files
var all_files = findFiles(myPath);
