I wanted to be able to open up a separate process in node/js and be able to capture user input. For example, open up a separate shell or cmd.exe to get stdin and display it back to the user. I currently am able to use cmd.exe and provide it arguments to copy a file's contents i.e I have something like launch(cmd.exe, args {/c, "copy", filepath}). Can I do something similar to this to get stdin? Another issue is that cmd.exe is only available on Windows is there an alternative for MAC/Linux?
