title: Mongo Query with Regex in Node JS operating ON A VARIABLE
body: <p>I have a problem here. I want to query my MongoDB in my Node JS file using something like LIKE for a conventional relational db. The problem is the thing I want to LIKE to is not a literal...it is a variable! I have found no good way to do this as of yet. Here was the "durrr first try" shot I took at it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var result = postData.replace(/\+/g,' ').substring(5);
  db.testlogwiki.find({"line_text" : /result/ };
  //predictably only matches to the literal "result" as opposed to my variable
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>testlogwiki is made in Mongo...I have it running and this does mach to db entries with "line_text" containing "result" literally.</p>
  
  <p>It seems like a very simple question...</p>
