I am trying to implement a GPS module with AVR Atmega32.
I am finding difficulty in splitting the text read from GPS module, namely the $GPGGA line.
I need to split segments of this line that are separated by commas and use the latitude, longitude and altitude for further processing.

Any help in few line code to split this line will be very useful.

A Typical line is like this:

$GPGGA,124545.000,1954.3693,N,07520.6932,E,1,05,3.7,606.4,M,-64.3,M,,0000*7E

I am poor in C and C++ and also in AVR GCC.
 

Not tested code which I wrote.

#define _LATITUDE  0
#define _LONGITUDE 1
 
char latitude[15], longitude[15], NS_EW[];
 
void Get_Latitude_Or_Longitude(char *s1, char *s2, char *s3, char option) {
 
    char i = 0;
 
    while(*s1) {
        if(*s1 == ',') {
            ++i;
        }
 
        if(option == 0) {
            if(i == 2) {
                *s++;
                break;
 
            }
        }
 
        if(option == 1) {
            if(i == 4) {
                *s++;
                break;
 
            }
        }
 
        *s++;
    }
 
    while(*s != ',') {
        *s2++ = *s1++;      
    }
 
    *s1++;
 
    *s3 = *s1;
}
 
 
 
//usage
 
 
while(1) {
 
    Get_Latitude_Or_Longitude(gps_data, latitude, NS_EW, _LATITUDE);
    //print latitude[] and NS_EW[]
    Get_Latitude_Or_Longitude(gps_data, longitude, NS_EW, _LONGITUDE);
    //print longitude[] and NS_EW[]
 
}
 
Thank you so much for complete and perfect solution.
I was struggling for days dur to lack of knowledge.
 

Fixed some bugs.

    *s3 = '\0';
 
}
 
Thanks agin,
I will try it on GPS, The microcontroller will send this info by SMS.
 

Altitude extraction is not written. Mention which field of the GPGGA sentence is altitude.
