dear mappers,
i have columns of lat and long with no commas, spaces, or dashes between
DMS. the strings are 515850.0N 1763601.0W.
i would like the correct syntax to parse out the DMS values and insert
commas between them prior to converting to decimal degress.
what is the best use of left$ or instr$ to do this using the update column
command?
left$(long,5) <insert ,> left$(long,6-7) <insert ,>
any suggestions?
-jeff
