I am working with a mongoDB script where in I want to take an input and I'll place it to a variable which i can play with.

i have tried

var ABcD = prompt('type a word: ');
print(ABcD);

but I think this only works on other javascript, not in mongoDB. Any help?

You're trying to give direct access of database to the end user, which is not a good thing – Tushar Sep 22 '15 at 07:28
i work this on the back end, and just exploring, so that not every time ill edit the script i made instead – chareon Sep 22 '15 at 07:30
The `mongo` shell currently has very limited I/O support. If you want to prompt for user input you'll have to do so using a programming language driver or shell script. – Stennie Sep 22 '15 at 07:38
Ok I'll try modifiying my file.js via bash script . hohoho thanks @Stennie – chareon Sep 22 '15 at 07:54
