MongoDb throws an error while importing using mongoImport

Question

Dear MongoDb experts,

So I have an assignment of which the first step is to import a java script file called Grades. I have the file stored in IPD351 folder in my C drive. I am running the following command in my command prompt after connecting to the mongo db server:

MongoDB Enterprise > mongoimport -d students -c grades <C:\foldername\filename.js

But I get the following error:

2016-04-18T13:35:04.983-0500 E QUERY    [thread1] SyntaxError: missing ; before statement @(shell):1:15

Please help! If the file does not get imported I cannot do the remaining homework

RESOLVED! I was in the mongo enterprise, typed exit, got out of enterprise and then typed the import command and it worked! The new line looks like this:

C:\Users\Akhil\mongoDb> mongoimport -d students -c grades

Don't use the < just ype the file path:

mongoimport -d students -c grades C:\IPD351\grades.js

Thanks for the response but I do have the file path in there - for some reason stackoverflow is not displaying my file path. Let me edit the post above to reflect that

You're adding a < before the file path,

Maybe try downloading the file again?
