ParseDms

The ParseDms function splits an angle string in Dms form into its components of degrees, minutes, and seconds. To split a decimal number of degrees, use ParseDegrees

Syntax

nDegree, nMin, nSec = ParseDms( sDms )

• sDms is an angle string, in decimal Degrees (e.g., "-05:15:36.000").
• nDegrees, nMin, nSec are the components of the Dms string (e.g., -5, 15, and 36).

Remarks

If the angle string begins with a negative sign, then the nDegrees component is returned as negative.
