fs.open

Noob, Linux, lost...

I found a bit of sample code I want to mod&use that starts with:
var fs = require("fs"); then later fs.open, fs.write/read...

I've scanned the web, searched codingforums and the best I can come up with is NodeJS. I did a download/install and .... no joy.

Thank you.

Never mind (for now) it was really late, tired, not thinking (I do that a lot these days) and I CAN"T TPYE.

I'm back. configure, make, make install -> 'install' finished successfully' - My first time adding external JS modules? I now have a file "fs.js". The code blows out on the first line: var fs = require("fs"); I've tried req(fs.js) with no luck. What do I need to do?

Thanks

There is no require, or include capacity of any kind in javascripts core language. You have to write your own. This has been done by many, and exists in a few libraries already. Google "javascript dynamic script loading"

var require = function(nm) {
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.type='text/javascript';
s.src=nm;
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(s);
}

require("fs");
