title: What is the Windows command prompt equivalent for th unix command 'ls -lah'?
body: <p>I am beginning to learn node.js. I started by reading the book "The Node Beginner" and the code given there seems to be written for running in unix, and I don't know how to write equivalent code for windows for the part of the code given below. </p>
  
  <pre><code>var exec=require("child_process").exec;
  
  function start(){
  console.log("Request handler 'start' was called");
  
  var content="empty";
  exec("ls -lah", function(error, stdout, stderr){
      content= stdout;
  
  });
  
  return content;
  /*
  function sleep(milliSeconds){
      var startTime=new Date().getTime();
      while(new Date().getTime()&lt; startTime+milliSeconds);
  }
  sleep(10000);
  return "Hello Start"; */
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If you had ever read that book or have any idea about how to make this code work, I'll be very grateful.</p>
