I have installed mongoDB2.4 installed in my windows 7 os. I am new to mongoDB. I would like to import data from a csv file into the database. I have used the mongoimport command but it shows:
Javascript execution failed: Syntax error: Unexpected identifier
my command in mongo shell was:
mongoimport --db mentalhealth --collection bidyut --type csv --file \Users\Adrian\Desktop\Data_sorted.csv
PLEASE kindly provide an answer.

I can't import data into my existing database located on mongoDBAtlas. I installed and connected robomongo with mongoDBAtlas for working with atlas.
I created new database jasper and collection User in robomongo then
I created user.json file in my project where are stored my data.
I followed tutorial on https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/import/mongoimport/ - how to use mongoimport with mongodb.
Here is my command, Im typing in terminal:
mongoimport --uri mongodb://Morty:<PASSWORD>#jasper-shard-00-00-mrihb.mongodb.net:27017/jasper?ssl=true&replicaSet=jasper-shard-0&authSource=admin --collection User --drop --file ./src/data/user.json --jsonArray
that give me an error:
[1] 40930
[2] 40931
-bash: --collection: command not found
[2]+ Done replicaSet=jasper-shard-0

2017-10-15T10:38:35.209+0200 try 'mongoimport --help' for more information
If I run mongoimport for localhost it works perfectly.
Where should be the problem ?
Solution:
-use quotes for uri param.
mongoimport --uri "mongodb://Morty:<PASSWORD>#jasper-shard-00-00-mrihb.mongodb.net:27017/jasper?ssl=true&replicaSet=jasper-shard-0&authSource=admin" --collection User --drop --file ./src/data/user.json --jsonArray
I'm trying to import a csv file into MongoDB and running into "Unexpected Identifier" error.
mongoimport –-db projectexperiment -—collection structured_1000 --type csv --file /dataset/structured/structured_1000.csv --headerline
Am quite new to MongoDB and was wondering if some one could point me in the right direction
You need to run mongoimport from the terminal. Assuming you are using Windows, you need to start a DOS prompt (cmd) go to the bin directory of your mongodb installation and run your monogimport command:
C:\mongodb\bin>mongoimport –-db projectexperiment -—collection structured_1000 --type csv --file /dataset/structured/structured_1000.csv --headerline
When I try to import my json data file into my local instance of mongodb, I get an error. The code that I am using is shown below.
> mongoimport --db cities --collection zips --type json --file C:/MongoDB/data/zips.json
This is the error that I get.
2014-11-29T20:27:33.803-0800 SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
what seems to be to problem here?
I just found out that mongoimport is used from terminal/command line(cmd), and NOT within the mongo shell.
In MongoDB, When I trying to import the JSON file by the mongoimport utility in mongo shell, But I am getting the error message.
error message - 2014-07-22T17:33:57.659+0530 SyntaxError: Unexpected token %
Where I need to execute the mongoimport --db command. I am able to execute the ./mongoimpor
Run the mongoimport command from outside the mongo shell. Ideally, it should be run from the folder where the json file is located. More information on mongoimport can be found here http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongoimport/.
I have a csv file containing following data and want to import it in mongodb
ID;"AdmissionID";"SeatNo";"RegistrationNo";"ResultDate";"ResultStatusId"
1;12;"2323";"23";07-05-2013;1
2;23;"35";"32";10-05-2013;5
this data is to be imported to mongodb 2.2. I'm using following command:
mongoimport -d test -c exam --type csv --headerline <f:\exam.csv
when used i get following error
SyntaxError: missing ; before statement (shell):1
please help me to find out the error
This should do the trick easily. More HERE.
mongoimport -d mydb -c collectionName --type csv --file myfile.csv --headerline
Your problem is the <f:\exam.csv bit, which is not properly escaped by the way it looks
> --headerline
> If using “--type csv” or “--type tsv,” use the first line as field names. Otherwise, mongoimport will import the first line as a distinct
> document.
Please try this line of code
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin>mongoimport -d pravin -c FOC --type csv
--file D:\Script\ImportData\FOC.csv --headerline

I solved by opening the .csv file in Excel (File -> Options -> advanced) then unchecking the box "uses system separation" and then removing the comma from the box below and then saving again in .csv.
So there will not be any commas in the .csv file and the formatting of JSON in MongoDB will be right.
Run mongoimport from the system command line, not the mongo shell.
