child_process spawnSync iterate python stdout results using for loop
<p>First I will post my code,</p>

<p>I will give an example of what I am facing problem: </p>

<pre><code>        for(var i=0;i&lt;arrayleng.length;i++){
        var oneScript = spawnSync('python',["/home/demo/mypython.py",arrayleng[i].path]);
        //console.log(String(oneScript.stdout));

        fs.readFile('/home/demo/' + arrayleng[i].filename + '.json','utf8',function(err,data){
                if(err){
                    console.log(err);
                }else{
                    console.log(data);
                }
            })          
    };
</code></pre>

<p>I want spawn child to synchronous only because, my python scripts will return some files, it has to read after each time it executes python script. But now it is reading once after it completes execution of python.And printing it on console at once.Instead of printing after each time it executes python script.</p>

<p>Here is a nodejs example:</p>

<pre><code>var fs = require('fs')
var checkThese = ['/Users/jmunsch/Desktop/code_scraps/1.json', '/Users/jmunsch/Desktop/code_scraps/2.json']

checkThese.forEach(function(checkThisPath){
    // Both of these will log first
    console.log(`run first: ${checkThisPath}`)
    var data = fs.readFileSync(checkThisPath, 'utf8')
    var theJson = data
    console.log(`run first: ${theJson}`)

    // it might make sense that this would execute next
    // but it doesn't
    fs.readFile(checkThisPath, 'utf8', function(err, data){
        // this callback executes later
        console.log(`run second: ${checkThisPath}`)
        console.log(`run second: ${data}`)
    })
})
</code></pre>

<p>Here is an example of a python script and a nodejs script and how they might work.</p>

<p>The python script <code>listdir.py</code>:</p>

<pre><code>import os
import sys
for x in os.listdir(sys.argv[1]):
    print(x)
</code></pre>

<p>Notes on the above script, I used <code>print</code> which appends a <code>\n</code> character after each line. If you plan to <code>write</code> a file to <code>stdout</code> using python's <code>sys.stdout.write</code> it will not add a newline character. </p>

<p>The nodejs code:</p>

<pre><code>var child_process = require('child_process');
var spawnSync = child_process.spawnSync

var checkThese = ['/Users', '/Users/jmunsch']

for (var i=0; i &lt; checkThese.length;i++){
    var checkThisPath = checkThese[i]
    console.log(`Checking: ${checkThisPath}`)
    var oneScript = spawnSync('python',["listdir.py", checkThisPath]);
    oneScript.output.forEach(function(buffer){
        if (buffer){
            // convert to string
            var x = buffer.toString('utf8')
            console.log(`typeof x: ${typeof x}`)
            // split by new line character
            var y = x.split('\n')
            console.log(`typeof y: ${typeof y}`)
            // turn it into an array
            var z = Array.prototype.slice.call(y)
            // iterate each line in the array
            z.forEach(function(pythonOutput){
                console.log(`One python print(): ${pythonOutput}`)
            })
        }
    })    
}
