MongoDB concatenate strings from two fields into a third field

Question

How do I concatenate values from two string fields and put it into a third one?

I\'ve tried this:

db.collection.update(
  { \"_id\": { $exists: true          


        

Answer 1

let suppose that you have a collection name is "myData" where you have data like this

{
"_id":"xvradt5gtg",
"first_name":"nizam",
"last_name":"khan",
"address":"H-148, Near Hero Show Room, Shahjahanpur",
}

and you want concatenate fields (first_name+ last_name +address) and save it into "address" field like this

{
"_id":"xvradt5gtg",
"first_name":"nizam",
"last_name":"khan",
"address":"nizam khan,H-148, Near Hero Show Room, Shahjahanpur",
}

now write query will be

{
var x=db.myData.find({_id:"xvradt5gtg"});
x.forEach(function(d)
    { 
        var first_name=d.first_name;
        var last_name=d.last_name;
        var _add=d.address;  
        var fullAddress=first_name+","+last_name+","+_add; 
        //you can print also
        print(fullAddress); 
        //update 
        db.myData.update({_id:d._id},{$set:{address:fullAddress}});
    })
}
