string / integer comparison

[Khaled]

I have a string field that stores numbers which i want to search
against using lte / gte, how can i tell mongodb to treat the field as
number ?

as {"value" => {"$lte" => "40000"}} doesn't work !

thanks

Hi,

It has been answered here... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3521601/is-it-possible-to-cast-in-a-mongodb-query
that you would need to use $where

You should store your numbers as numbers, not strings.
