```
the code block
```auto
if (commands[2] === "KEYS" && commands[4] === "*") {
console.log(" ********Handling KEYS * Command********");
// Get all keys, excluding config entries
const keys = Array.from(dataStore.keys()).filter(
(key) => key !== "dir" && key !== "dbfilename"
);
console.log("Keys");
console.log(keys);
let response = `*${keys.length}\r\n`; // RESP array of keys
keys.forEach((key) => {
// Properly format each key as a bulk string
console.log("Key are");
console.log(key);
response += `$${key.length}\r\n${key}\r\n`; // Each key is a bulk string
console.log("Key: " + key);
});
console.log("KEYS * Response:", response);
connection.write(response); // Send the response to the connection
}
}
```

Looks like you’ve got two `connection.write` calls - are both required?
Line 96 and line 121.

looks like you have two $ signs in this line
`response += `$${key.length}\r\n${key}\r\n`;` you might need to escape the character
