hi all,

I'm developing a webapplication that let's user upload their point data and play with it. It currently works with lat/long in a CSV with this format (eg: 0.44, -79.9) but we find users with some of these also valid and acceptable ways to write geographic coordinates:
40:26:46N,79:56:55W
40:26:46.302N 79:56:55.903W
40°26'21"N 79°58'36"W
40d 26' 21" N 79d 58' 36" W
40.446195N 79.948862W
40.446195, -79.948862
40° 26.7717, -79° 56.93172

I'm aware that parsing and interpreting free-text coordinate descriptions is quite complex, maybe someone knows a script (or a remote service) that does a similar job?

It would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Pere
