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();

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();
