read and list all the files in the current directory

[robthewildman]

I really need some help here. I'm trying to write a program in ASP/JavaScript that will read and list all the files in the current directory. Like for example in BASIC I would type the command, DIR. 

This is what I found. but I am confused ---

var fs = require('fs'); 

var files = fs.readdirSync('/assets/photos/'); 

 

require??? Never heard of it before. it appears they're trying to make an object. But wouldn't that be an object of type directory? Can you help me out please?
