Node.js & cmd Filter file by extension and text in file

General Discussion
  • I need to process/filter files by their extension and text inside the file.
    It must be via the command-line.

    This is the cmd line:
    C:\myFolder> node search.js [extension][any text]
    I only managed to isolate the 2 strings:

    var file_extension = process.argv[2];
    var words_in_file = process.argv[3];
    

    But now I need to build a filter that takes 2 args: 'file_extension' & 'words_in_file'
    returns(display) a list of all files(full-path) ending with this extension (e.g txt/js/html etc..)
    and containing the text of the second argument.
    including in the sub folders files(if any).

    1.How do I get only the files with the extension that was 
    passed?(absolut path)
    2.How do I read the file content and compare it to the text that was passed?
    3.How to display it all in the cmd?
    

    Thank you.
