I don't think dmscnvrt.mbx will let you specify a "-" as a seperator.

Why not using dmscnvrt.mbx (located in the tools directory)� But the
limit of coordinates is 32 000 (integer limits)

I was given an excel spreadsheet that contained around 300
co-ordinates that I need to plot in MapInfo...Problem,� the co-ordinates for
both latitude and longitude are all in the same cell, separated by a "-".�
eg.� 40-30-41, and the cell format is just general.� If anyone has a quick
solution to either separate these numbers into three separate columns (then
I can easily convert them into degrees, minutes, seconds), or even better,
if someone has devised a program that will work in MapInfo to convert a
column in this crummy format to decimal degrees I would love to hear about
it ASAP.
