Node JS - read file properties
Unless you want to write some native C module, there is hacky way to get this done easily: using windows wmic
command. This is the command to get version (found by googling):
wmic datafile where name='c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe' get Version
so you can just run this command in node to get the job done:
var exec = require('child_process').exec
exec('wmic datafile where name="c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\notepad.exe" get Version', function(err,stdout, stderr){
if(!err){
console.log(stdout)// parse this string for version
}
});
