This is necessary, though not sufficient.
I only want to store it as a real in this case (or other cases where it is a real). In other cases I want to store it as text. (Probably most cases.) But I found the solution. I just rewrote getCPUTemp to: proc getCPUTemp {} { if {1 != [regexp -all -line {^CPU_TEMP: +\+([0-9.]+)°C } [exec sensors] -> temp]} { error {Did not get exactly a single temperature line from [exec sensors] output} } return [expr double(${temp})] } In the return statement I changed the string to double. And who-la it is stored as real. I updated the about 3.000 records with: UPDATE messages SET message = CAST(message AS REAL) WHERE TYPEOF(message) = 'text' AND type = 'cpu-temp' -- Cecil Westerhof _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
