While I want to fetch data from mongocollection based on updated time in shell I'm facing this error. Where I'm passing the date in other sh file

[Yugandhar_Prathi]

This is my mongoexport

mongoexport --ssl --sslCAFile $sslCAFile --host $host -u $username -p $password --collection $collectionMember --db $database --limit 5 --query “‘./datequery.sh’” --out $output

datequery.sh

start= sort -n /ipath/date.txt | tail -1
end= date --utc "+%FT%T.%3NZ"
echo '{"memberCard.cardMbrDtlsCreatedTms": { "$gte": { "$date": "$start"}, "$lt": {"$date": "$end"}}}'

error validating settings: query ‘[39 46 47 100 97 116 101 113 117 101 114 121 46 115 104 39]’ is not valid JSON: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type map[string]interface {}

Please read Formatting code and log snippets in posts and update the code and command you published.

The way it is formatted it is not clear if the syntax is wrong or simply the formatting.

Welcome to the MongoDB Community @Yugandhar_Prathi !

–query “’./datequery.sh’”

The --query parameter for mongoexport expects a query as a JSON document enclosed in quotes.

You can use shell command substitution to replace ./datequery.sh with the output of running that command, but the supported syntax is either single backticks (`command`) or $(command).

Currently you have used single quotes ('), which (in a shell context) will preserve the literal value of each character within quotes. The "39 47 … " sequence is ./datequery.sh converted to the decimal value of each character.

Either of these should work assuming ./datequery.sh is executable:

   --query="$(./datequery.sh)"
   --query="`./datequery.sh`"

I think the first form is more readable and consistent with the other variable substitutions using $.

Thanks @Stennie_X when I ran the job with first mentioned option

I changed my entire shell script and passing query
source /path/config.sh

start_dt= sort -n /path/date.txt | tail -1

end_dt= date --utc “+%FT%T.%3NZ”

mongoexport --ssl --sslCAFile $sslCAFile --host $host -u $username -p $password --collection $collectionName --db $database --limit 5 --query ‘{“xxxx.cxxxCreatedTms”: { “$gte”: { “$date”: “$start”}, “$lt”: {"$date": “$end”}}}’ --out $output

While I ran the above script I am facing this error
