Getting Error in running Cmd command in from javascript code

I am trying to run cmd commands throung my javascript code. Here's my code

var process = require('child_process');
process.exec('ipconfig',function (err,stdout,stderr) {
    if (err) {
        console.log("\n"+stderr);
    } else {
        console.log(stdout);
    }
});

and when I run ipconfig it runs and shows all ip configuartions but when I run ls to show files on my directory it gives me error 

'ls' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Solution

  • In a Windows console, ls is not a command. Try using dir instead.
