mongoexport truncates string data

[saurabh srivastava]

Exporting a collection using mongoexport truncates the string field and append "..." to it. Is there a way to disable this feature in the export?

Does this seem to be for fields that contain a certain length, or
above, or is it evident in all cases?

I realized that this is a known issue. http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/mongoexport first comment on the page talks of this. I wrote my custom exporter which does not truncate. But it would appear that the truncation happens for longer string fields.

I've made a patch which fixes this issue and created a github pull request (https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/pull/260).

Personally I'd love to see this in the 2.0.7 release. Is there anything else I can do to make this happen?

Thanks in advance,

Josh

I'm experiencing the same problem. Strings are being truncated at around 153 characters.

I suspect the problem is occuring here: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/master/src/mongo/tools/export.cpp#L94

From my understanding of the code, the toString() function defaults to not "full", so the full parameter should be set to true as follows:

    return csvEscape(object.toString(false, true), true);

Could someone please confirm this is the case?

Thanks,
