Neo4j Cypher - String to Integer

Question

Here the value in property r.weight is a string. i have tried following possibilities to convert it into a integer,

INT(r.weight)
Integer.parseInt(r.weight)
         


        

Answer 1

As stated in the comments above there is no easy way to do this with Cypher in 1.9.x. As a workaround you could use the neo4j-shell and use the gsh or jsh or eval command to execute a script that iterates over all relationships and converts the value of weight property from String to numeric.
