The FormatDmsStr function converts an angle string in Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds ("DMS") form into a properly formatted angle string. Use this function, for example, to convert "-54, 10, 21.6" to "12:14:15.600"

Syntax

sDmsNew = FormatDmsStr( sDms )

• sDms is the string to be converted (e.g., "-54, 10, 21.6").
• sDmsNew is the properly formatted time string (e.g., "-54:10:21.6").
