Trouble parsing NMEA data from Serial Port.
- by rross
I'm retrieving NMEA sentences from a serial GPS. Then string are coming across like I would expect. The problem is that when parsing a sentence like this:
$GPRMC,040302.663,A,3939.7,N,10506.6,W,0.27,358.86,200804,,*1A
I use a simple bit of code to make sure I have the right sentect:
string[] Words = sBuffer.Split(',');
foreach (string item in Words)
{
if (item == "$GPRMC")
{
return "Correct Sentence";
}
else
{
return "Incorrect Sentence
}
}
I added the return in that location for the example. I have printed the split results to a text box and have seen that $GPRMC is indeed coming across in the item variable at some point. If the string is coming across why won't the if statement catch? Is is the $? How can I trouble shoot this?
