Partially update a field.

I’m trying to edit a database that has a field to hold information for specific folder paths on my pc. However those folders were moved and now the paths are pointing to the wrong place. Is it possible to use db.collection.update to partially update the field entries or do i need to edit the db file another way?

Something like: db.folders.update Directory = "D:\\MyFolder\\*" where "C:\\MyFolder\\*" In this case the “*” sign indicates various other subfolders inside MyFolder. I would like to know if there is a away to achieve something like this thru the shell. Thanks in advance and great work you have here!

Huge facepalm that sneaky . was the problem eheh. I just tried it as you suggested and it worked flawlessly…until I opened playnite and the changes break the database, I get a duplication error on the _id indexes, don’t know how it happened as I just changed the InstallDirectory field but since I realized this is way over my head i’ll just leave the programming stuff to the guys that really know what they are doing eheh. I’ve asked on reddit and Playnite’s dev Crowcz is working on a solution for this kind of task so i think i’ll just wait until he’s done his magic 😄

Ahah não tinha reparado que eras do Brasil, eu sou portuga eheh, escrevi em inglês para ser mais fácil para quem tiver a mesma dúvida mas é bom saber que há muito talento nesta área no país irmão. Parabéns pelo projecto tá muito bacana, bem organizado e bem documentado. Um abraço deste lado do oceano e desculpa outra vez estar a chatear com a minha burrice 😄
