[Tutor] An interesting case... of east vs. west

think you can see what my problem was:
for i in range(0,344)
I will work with this further, and report back once I find Alan's method...
but for now, this seems to work:
for i in range(0,20):
y=d[i][2].split('\xb0')
x=d[i][3].split('\xb0')
ydeg,ymin=int(y[0].rstrip()),float(y[1].strip('\' N'))
xdeg,xmin=int(x[0].rstrip()),float(x[1].rstrip("\' E").rstrip("

The first thing I'd suggest is not to try to do it all in one step.
Break it into chunks and wri
A little closer, this seems to work, but it's not catching the 'W' or 'S'
cases to make it negative...
for i in range(0,20):
y=d[i][2].split('\xb0')
x=d[i][3].split('\xb0')
ydeg,ymin=int(y[0].rstrip()),float(y[1].strip('\' N'))
xdeg,xmin=int(x[0].rstrip()),float(x[1].rstrip("\' E").rstrip

I have an idea: use a regular expression :D
Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge of these down well enough to
just spout one off OTOH,
and I've got somewhere I have to be,
Just a quick follow up.. it doesn't work :s
There are definitely some problems... ideas are welcome!
