Read from string, graph, write to file

[Hydro9]

I have the following string that I am reading from a serial port with VISA;

$ 330.000,-144.702,176.21, 18.85,01/01/00 00:01:43,N8008

Could someone offer an plan to break the numbers out of this string, graph, and write to a file?

I am having problems formatting this string to pull out the correct values.

Cheers,

Dave

Spreadsheet String to Array with ',' as a delimiter is one way. It would also help if you showed what you've been trying, what values you need, and which ones you don't.

Use "$ %f,%f,%f,%f,%d/%d/%d %d:%d:%d,N$d" as a format string in SCAN FROM STRING, for starters.

There might be a better way to scan for a date/time string, I'd have to look it up.
