QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS Text to float (qgis:texttofloat). This algorithm modifies the type of a given attribute in a vector layer, converting a text attribute containing numeric strings into a numeric attribute.

qgis_texttofloat(
  INPUT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  FIELD = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  OUTPUT = qgisprocess:::qgis_default_value(),
  ...,
  .complete_output = .complete_output_option(),
  .quiet = .quiet_option(),
  .messages = .message_option()
)

Arguments

INPUT

source - Input layer. Path to a vector layer.

FIELD

field - Text attribute to convert to float. The name of an existing field. ; delimited list of existing field names.

OUTPUT

sink - Float from text. Path for new vector layer.

...

further parameters passed to qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()

.complete_output

logical specifying if complete out of qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be used (TRUE) or first output (most likely the main) should read (FALSE). Default value is TRUE.

.quiet

logical specifying if parameter .quiet for qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() Default value is TRUE.

.messages

logical specifying if messages from qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be printed (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Default value is FALSE.
