MongoDump query with BinData

Question

The Mongodump documentation specifies you can dump using a specific query

i.e.

mongodump --host localhost --db mydb --collection testCollection --que         


        

Answer 1

You don't need to escape that much. You may just use single-quote outside of the query and double-quote inside, i.e. But beware to have the type as hex, meaning "03" and not "3"

mongodump --host localhost --db test --collection bd --query
'{"_id" : { "$binary" : "ryBRQ+Px0kGRsZofJhHgqg==", "$type" : "03" } }'
