Dear all, I have the following written example
> coords <- "51°30'48.58\"N"
>
> as.integer(strsplit(coords, "°")[[1]][1])
[1] 51
> as.integer(strsplit(strsplit(coords, "°")[[1]][2], "'")[[1]][1])
[1] 30
> as.numeric(strsplit(strsplit(strsplit(coords, "°")[[1]][2], "'")[[1]][2],
> "\"")[[1]][1])
[1] 48.58
> strsplit(strsplit(strsplit(coords, "°")[[1]][2], "'")[[1]][2], "\"")[[1]][2]
[1] "N"
My code gets from the coords degrees , minutes, seconds and finally the N/S/W/E
Could you please tell me if there is any function in R that can convert all the
above into fractions of degrees (single numerical value).
B.R
Alex
