Answer 1

readFileSync

If the encoding option is specified then this function returns a string. Otherwise it returns a buffer.

You need to either set the encoding or use the buffer's .toString( ) method

Answer 2

Can you make sure the path is correct? i can read your data normally in js so i think the problem is just the path
