I am getting this error:

Unexpected strict mode reserved word

when I am trying to run this code:

"use strict";
var
fs = require('fs'),
spawn = require('child_process').spawn,
filename = process.argv[2];

if(!filename){
  throw Error('A File to watch must be specified!');
}
fs.watch(filename,function(){
    let ls = spawn('ls',['-lh',filename]);
    ls.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);
});
console.log("now watching " + filename + " for changes.....");

Why did you change the first `let` to `var` and not the second one ? – Denys Séguret Jun 19 '14 at 12:57

Too bad the wrong answer was chosen in the other question :\ – Denys Séguret Jun 19 '14 at 12:58
it worked when i changed let to var , but did't get why the "let" not worked for me – harry matharoo Jun 19 '14 at 13:06
To elaborate on @dystroy's comment - Timothy Strimple's answer on the page linked by plalx is the [correct answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/11326647/316310). – RickN Jun 19 '14 at 13:38
