How to perform LIKE searches in MongoDB with Java

In order to perform searches just the SQL LIKE expression you need to provide a Regular Expression.
For example, supposing you have the following Document:
<pre class=”brush:text”>{ “_id” : { “$oid” : “5541de4243875f38bcd22ea5”} , “title” : “The Da Vinci Code” , “author” : “Dan Brown” , “type” : “thriller” , “price” : 12 , “copies” : 10}</pre>
 Here is an example how to perform this search using the “Vinci” LIKE on the title:
<pre class=”brush:java”>public static void main(String args[]) {
 try {
 // To connect to mongodb server
 MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient(“localhost”, 27017);

DB db = mongoClient.getDB(“javaee7”);

DBCollection coll = db.getCollection(“bookstore”);

DBCursor cursor = null;

           BasicDBObject q = new BasicDBObject();
           q.put(“title”, java.util.regex.Pattern.compile(“Vinci”));
           cursor = coll.find(q);

while (cursor.hasNext()) {
DBObject obj = cursor.next();

System.out.println(obj);

}

cursor.close();

} catch (Exception e) {
 System.err.println(e.getClass().getName() + “: ” + e.getMessage());
 }
 }</pre>
