Export files from MongoDB GridFS with directory paths

MongoDB and GridFS are awesome, but I had to migrate some data to MySQL database. The biggest problem is that I used GridFS to store uploaded files. After unsuccessfully  searching online I decided to write my own bash export script. How to export all the files out of mongodb gridfs? Here’s the script:

#! /bin/bash
_host="${1:?Usage: gridfs host db}"
_db="${2:?Usage: gridfs host db}"
while read -r line; do
    file=$(echo "$line" | awk -F'\t' '{ print $1 }')
    [[ $file == 'connected to'* ]] && continue
    directory=${file%/*}
    mkdir -p $directory
    mongofiles -h $_host -db $_db get $file
done < <(mongofiles -h $_host -db $_db list)

Script takes two parameters, first one is the hostname of the mongodb instance and the second is database.

For example: ./gridfs localhost scen will export all files from scen database on localhost to current directory, if you have directory structure in GridFS, it will create that directories too.
