javascript - Execute an exe file using node.js

Question

I don't know how to execute an exe file in node.js. Here is the code I am using. It is not working and doesn't print anything. Is there any possible way to execute an exe file using the command line?

var fun = function() {
  console.log("rrrr");
  exec('CALL hai.exe', function(err, data) {

    console.log(err)
    console.log(data.toString());
  });
}
fun();

Answer 1

you can try execFile function of child process modules in node.js

Refer: http://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_execfile_file_args_options_callback

You code should look something like:

var exec = require('child_process').execFile;

var fun =function(){
   console.log("fun() start");
   exec('HelloJithin.exe', function(err, data) {  
        console.log(err)
        console.log(data.toString());                       
    });  
}
fun();
