I'm having an issue with mongoDB doing a CSV export and I just need a new set of eyes to see what's wrong.

mongoexport —-database twitter_database —-collection tweets --csv --fields geo,lang --out m_twitter.csv

I'm getting a ERROR: too many positional options

I'm not sure why. I must be missing something.

Try to pass fields in quotes : `... --fields "geo,lang" ...` – u_mulder Feb 20 '14 at 19:19

@u_mulder yeah that didn't work either. – datapanda Feb 20 '14 at 19:23
@BryceAtNetwork23 looked at that and tried those. It's really weird. – datapanda Feb 20 '14 at 19:25
