What does “too many positional options” mean when doing a mongoexport?

Question

mongoexport -h db.mysite.com -u myUser -p myPass -c myCollection

But the response I get is:

ERROR: too many positional options

Answer 1

The same error I have encountered while importing a csv file. But its just, the fact that the field list which you pass for that csv file import may have blank spaces. Just clear the blank spaces in field list.

Its the parsing error.
