    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi, <br>
      I knew about those functions a few weeks ago, and I was really
      happy about that, because it is a lack in the basic function.<br>
      For I, those new functions should really be in the core project in
      the next release ...<br>
      Thanks to all the programmers.<br>

                    <div>
                      <div>Hi all,<br>
                        <br>
                      </div>
                      I have two shapefiles : a line one (called
                      "section") and a point one (called "station")
                      shapefiles.<br>
                    </div>
                    The line shapefiles has fields like ID_section,
                    ID_first, ID_last<br>
                  </div>
                  The point file has an ID_station.<br>
                </div>
                <div>All these define a kind of network where a section
                  begins on a station and ends up at another station.<br>
                </div>
                <div>What I need to do is to fill :<br>
                  - section ID_first field with the ID_station of the
                  station that is the closest to the beginning of the
                  section<br>
                  - and section ID_last field with the ID_station of the
                  closest station to the end of the line.<br>
                </div>
                <div><br>
                  I can obtain this result while combining many analysis
                  tools and plugins (QChainage, Spatial_Join...). I know
                  how I can do it. There might be a way with processing
                  tools and if somebody has an idea, I'll be glad to
                  know it however.<br>
                  <br>
                </div>
                <div>But what I'm really wondering is if it isn't
                  directly possible to fill these fields in the Field
                  calculator using all the nice functions we have.
                  Indeed, QGIS 2.6 and RefFunctions plugin give
                  relational fonctions to retrieve values on a specific
                  layer according to its fields, features values or
                  localisation.<br>
                </div>
                <div>I tried many combinations with db_query,
                  geomnearest, geomRedef, xat/yat, buffer, geometry,
                  within , attribute (not all at the same time :) )....
                  I'm pretty sure it's possible but I can't find. And I
                  don't want to lose all my hair...<br>
                </div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>Does anybody know how I can retrieve in a line
                  shapefile's field the value of the point feature that
                  is the closest to the first vertex of this line,
                  within the field calculator?<br>
                </div>
                <br>
              </div>
              Thanks ...<br>
