I wrote one in fgsd that allow [ESNW-+]? dd.ddddddddd [ESNW-+]? dd:mm.mmmmmm [ESNW-+]? dd:mm:ss.sss
see double FGSD_Util::parsePosition( const char *_pos_, bool &_error_ ) at : http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/fgsd/fgsd/src/sdutil.cpp?rev= HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup (be carefull, the url may be span on 2 line ) I thought about submitting it for flightgear but never went on. I thing it is more flexible than the current parse_time in options.cxx -Fred PS: I am seeing all your messages as attachment.
