When your callback to readFile executes, the for loop will already have finished. So i will be files.length and files[i] will be undefined. To mitigate this, you need to wrap the variables in a closure. The simplest way to do this is to create a function which does your readFile call, and call that in the loop:

function read(file) {
    require('fs').readFile(file, 'utf8', function (error,data) {
        cache[file]=data;
    });
}

for(var i = 0; i < files.length; i++){
    read(files[i]);
}

 

For even better execution control, you might want to look into async:

function readAsync(file, callback) {
    fs.readFile(file, 'utf8', callback);
}

async.map(files, readAsync, function(err, results) {
    // results = ['file 1 content', 'file 2 content', ...]
});

 

Edit: Made use of helper function for async example.
