Query Mongo using list in a file - mongodb

Question

I need to query Mongo for a field where the value is in a list, and then print that value plus a few others. However the list is about 4000 values long, so it is in a file. How could I do that? So something like
db.table.find({field1:{$eq:"abc"},"field2.subvalue":{$in:list.txt}},{"_id":1,"field2.subvalue":1,"field3":1})
Maybe I'm just not using the correct search terms but I can't find anything where you query from values in a file when I search Google.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I second Sorens answer, try loading them into simple JSON format. for example.
file name : testfile
f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 -- Field
v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 --- Row one
x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 --- row two
your collection would look like,
collection name : testCollection
{
f1:v2,f2:v2,f3:v3,f4:v4,f5:v5 <--- These are documents
}
{
f1:x1,f2:x2,f3:x3,f4:x4,f5:v5
}
And so on and then query from MongoDB / program
Please dont do this manually for 4k fields , that's a nightmare :).
Google around for some java or python code and have that do it for you.
Good luck
