  1. POmongoexport syntax error message
    text
    copied!<p>I'm working with mongodb 2.4.3 and I cannot get mongoexport to work. The error message I get with each command is: <code>"JavaScript execution failed: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier"</code></p> <p>At first I thought the problem was with my query parameters, which were long. But find() worked fine with the query so I know that the syntax is ok. I then created a new collection using the query and tried exporting the collection with the following:</p> <p><code>mongoexport --db Oct2012 --collection sept8subset --csv --fields "text","created_at","user.screen_name","user.followers_count" --out sept8.csv</code></p> <p><code>mongoexport --db Oct2012 --collection sept8subset --csv --fields text,created_at,user.screen_name,user.followers_count --out sept8.csv</code></p> <p><code>mongoexport -d Oct2012 -c sept8subset --csv --fields text,created_at,user.screen_name -o sept8.csv</code></p> <p><code>mongoexport --db Oct2012 --collection sept8subset --dbpath ~/db (should need dbpath as mongod instance is running)</code></p> <p><code>mongoexport --db OCt2012 -collection sept8subset -o sept8.txt</code></p> <p><code>mongoexport --db Oct2012 --collection sept8subset</code></p> <p>In each case, I get <code>"JavaScript execution failed: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier"</code>. Where could that SyntaxError be??</p> <p>The collection I'm trying to copy has 50,339 objects. In case it is just too big for mongoexport to handle, I took 5 documents out of the collection to make a new collection. I then tried to export them using same command structure as above. I still get the same error message.</p> <p>Now I'm wondering if the problem is that mongoexport can't work with data involving dates. MongoDB documentation states that I may want to write my own export script using a client driver. </p> <p>Does anyone have an idea of what my problem is here? Many thanks if you can help out.</p>
