Get MongoDB Databases in a Javascript Array

[jprichardson]

I know that in the MongoDB terminal, I can run "show dbs" to see the
available databases. I want to get them programmatically so that I can
iterate over them and delete some based upon a regular expression.

I have tried db.runCommand("show dbs") but that doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

You can use:

> use admin
switched to db admin
> db.runCommand({listDatabases:1})

[Scott Hernandez]

db._adminCommand("listDatabases")

all commands are listed here:
