Execute an external TS file in a T3 Stack app

Hello, I have my T3 stack up running and I need to execute a ts file I already searched online and tried using node-ts and tsc but neither work. Do you have any idea about how I can do this ? Thanks !

wym executing a file? Executing as in locally in a terminal?

yes, in my case I store information in a db and i need to update all the record of the database but I don't want any access on the app itself just be able to update it by executing a file. If you need the code of the file I try to execute I can provide it to you !

@bedesqui Do you have any ideas of how I can fix this problem please ?

If you have "type": "module" set for the project, maybe running npx ts-node --esm src/scripts/updateFiles.ts will work I think ts-node expects cjs

Thanks @bedesqui With "type": module and npx ts-node --esm src/scripts/updateFiles.ts I got this error :
