Struggling to access the data within a directory of files, I've encountered an issue where the data doesn't seem to be read correctly or at all. Even though there is content when opening the files individually, when attempting to examine their contents programmatically, it appears empty. My end goal is to gather all this data into an array.
function retrieveFiles(directory, filesList = []) {
fs.readdirSync(directory)
.forEach(file => {
let content = fs.readFileSync(directory + file, 'utf8');
console.log(content); // Empty
const filepath = path.resolve(directory, file);
const stats = fs.statSync(filepath);
const isFile = stats.isFile();
if (isFile) filesList.push(content);
});
return filesList;
}
Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
