for me, text is "exit\n"
I guess you are on windows, so text is "exit\r\n"

The readline module might help you.

I'm confused of how to compare string const with variable.
Look at this simple example where keyboard input compares with const string. I suggest this is encoding problem. Please, tell me what should be done to exit process ?
File encoding is utf8

process.stdin.setEncoding();//default is utf-8
process.stdin.resume();
process.stdin.on("data", function(text) {

//shows entered length=*6*
console.log('entered length=' + text.length);

//shows compare length=*4*
console.log('compare length=' + 'exit'.length);

if (text == 'exit'){
 //never works
console.log('matched!');
}
});
