Hi J

You're looking for String.substring().

You could also solve the problem using regular expressions, but that's probably overkill for this.

Best regards,

Thanks Eric. 

it seems to me, that you trying to convert a gps decimal-value to degree/minute/second.
if so, its not enough, just to convert it to a String and then split it up.

the following lines show how to do the converting:

1. float deg_dec = 52.502411;
2. int deg   = int(deg_dec );
3. int min   = int( 60* (deg_dec - deg) );
4. float sec =  60* ((60* (deg_dec - deg)) - min);
5. println(deg_dec + " == " + deg+"° "+min+"' "+sec+"''");

or better to read:

1. float deg_dec = 52.502411;
2. float min_dec = 60* (deg_dec - (int)deg_dec);
3. float sec_dec = 60* (min_dec - (int)min_dec);
4. 
   
5. int deg = (int) deg_dec ;
6. int min = (int) min_dec ;
7. int sec = (int) sec_dec;
8. 
   
9. println(deg_dec + " == " + deg+"° "+min+"' "+sec_dec+"''");

Thanks Thomas...
