=The solution to modify the data to time format with special edit option was really nice, but not sure how much work would be required to modify it. Tried to do it directly in other ways, but couldn't do it, and from feedback it seems it is no longer possible since libreoffice doesn't support the formula.. Created test file with 1000 GPS addresses with randon values with libreoffice to a text file. Original setup has each on separte line. sed process does the 1000 items in 0.048 seconds.Then converted same data to 500 lines with 2 sets of GPS addresses per line. Then wrote singlec++ program to process 500 lines of data. Time: 0.005s.
So, guess there are different methods to solve the problem. If anyone interested, can send the simple c++ program. Only little issue, was the the degree code that was in orginal posted data was a two byte version. Had to add a line of code to handle either single or double byte coding of that. In the sed solution, I had pasted the symbol, so didn't see issue, but in the c++ put the hex value. If anyone wants code, just send me an email.. Not really of any interest to me, since I don't have anything that deals with GPS or Digital address data. But don't like not being able to solve interesting problems. Thanks for the time, and hope this thread wasn't to much trouble to some.. Be Safe and Have a Great Day...
