MongoDB reverse regex

Question

I have a document in MongoDB with a regex attribute

    {
        _id: ObjectId(\"516023189732da20ce000004\"),
        regex: /^(my|your)\\s+regex$/
    }
         


        

Answer 1

You can use the $where operator in the following fashion:

db.col.find({$where: "\"my regex\".match(this.regex)"})
