Hi,

Is it possible to load numbers which are expressed in scientific notation ("2.8916966049871923E-9") from a CSV file with spatialite-gui so that they are not interpreted to be strings? If it is not, would it feel reasonable to add an option for that?

Hi Jukka,

your suggestion has been accepted; since the latest commit into the
Fossil repository the common support for external Text files is now
capable to correctly parse floating point numbers expressed in
scientific notation.

please note: the Text Module is directly implemented into
libspatialite, so this change will immediately extend to both
VirtualText and spatialite_gui

bye Sandro
