MongoDB regular expression to match a specific record?

Let us first create a collection with documents −

> dbworkingOfRegularExpressionDemoinsertOne({ "StudentDetails" : { "StudentName" : "John" },"StudentAge":21 }); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cf227acb64a577be5a2bc07") } > dbworkingOfRegularExpressionDemoinsertOne({ "StudentDetails" : { "StudentName" : "JOHN" },"StudentAge":19 }); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cf227b8b64a577be5a2bc08") } > dbworkingOfRegularExpressionDemoinsertOne({ "StudentDetails" : { "StudentName" : "Carol" },"StudentAge":20 }); {    "acknowledged" : true,    "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cf227c2b64a577be5a2bc09") }

Following is the query to display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> dbworkingOfRegularExpressionDemofind();

This will produce the following document −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cf227acb64a577be5a2bc07"), "StudentDetails" : { "StudentName" : "John" }, "StudentAge" : 21 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cf227b8b64a577be5a2bc08"), "StudentDetails" : { "StudentName" : "JOHN" }, "StudentAge" : 19 } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cf227c2b64a577be5a2bc09"), "StudentDetails" : { "StudentName" : "Carol" }, "StudentAge" : 20 } Following is the regular expression to get the document with StudentName JOHN: > dbworkingOfRegularExpressionDemofind({'StudentDetailsStudentName': /JOHN/}); 

This will produce the following document −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cf227b8b64a577be5a2bc08"), "StudentDetails" : { "StudentName" : "JOHN" }, "StudentAge" : 19 }
