    }
  });

})

now in my mongo shell i am doing like this

load("url\\to\\my js file\\path")

i tried in different ways but it is not working Thanks in advance

var replacedTitles = doc.ProCat.map(function (catTitle) {
    return { title: catTitle.title.replace(/,/g, "") };
})

filter removes elements in an array that do not match a condition. This is not what you want to do. Instead, map applies a function to each element of the array, which is what you want to do. Additionally, you need to wrap each replaced string in an object since you want an array of objects, not an array of strings. The /,/g makes it so that every comma is removed, not just the first one. The rest should be modified like this.

db.companies.update({
    _id: doc._id
}, {
    $set: {
        "ProCat": replacedTitles,
    }
});
