I'm using mongoexport to export some collections into CSV files, however when I try to target fields which are members of an array I cannot get it to export correctly.

command I'm using:

mongoexport -d db -c collection -fieldFile fields.txt --csv > out.csv

and the contents of fields.txt is similar to

id
name
address[0].line1
address[0].line2
address[0].city
address[0].country
address[0].postcode

where the BSON data would be:

{
    "id": 1,
    "name": "example",
    "address": [
        {
            "line1": "flat 123",
            "line2": "123 Fake St.",
            "city": "London",
            "country": "England",
            "postcode": "N1 1AA"
        }
    ]
}

what is the correct syntax for exporting the contents of an array?
