Hi SEMAK,

"String to Byte Array" should work for you.

Why not parse the string sentence to extract the specific parts of the NMEA code, depending upon where your application is used the letters for N/S or E/W might be very important. Or as some Lat/ Long are expressed as + for North/ East and - for South/ West make the numeric values +/- depending upon the letter - Mike

Working with small strings I often parse them like this

Hey SEMAK-

There have been some good suggestions here. Something that you may also be interested is LabVIEW's Type Cast Function. 

Hope this helps.

This sounds like a perfect excuse for a type definition.  All of the charaters have information that may be used but contain differing types.

The type def construction is left as an exercize.

Enjoy
