Let us create a collection with documents −
> db.selectOnlyNumericDemo.insertOne({"UserId":"User101"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cbdb711de8cc557214c0e16") } > db.selectOnlyNumericDemo.insertOne({"UserId":"102"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cbdb716de8cc557214c0e17") } > db.selectOnlyNumericDemo.insertOne({"UserId":"User103"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cbdb71dde8cc557214c0e18") } > db.selectOnlyNumericDemo.insertOne({"UserId":"104"}); { "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5cbdb725de8cc557214c0e19") }
Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −
> db.selectOnlyNumericDemo.find().pretty();
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cbdb711de8cc557214c0e16"), "UserId" : "User101" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cbdb716de8cc557214c0e17"), "UserId" : "102" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cbdb71dde8cc557214c0e18"), "UserId" : "User103" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cbdb725de8cc557214c0e19"), "UserId" : "104" }
Following is the query to select only numeric strings or check whether string is numeric in MongoDB −
> db.selectOnlyNumericDemo.find({'UserId': /^\d+$/});
This will produce the following output −
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cbdb716de8cc557214c0e17"), "UserId" : "102" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5cbdb725de8cc557214c0e19"), "UserId" : "104" }
