RegEx Newbie Help

[Scott Bellware]

Howdy,

Straight up... I'm a RegEx illiterate. I've got a couple books on the way
from Amazon, but I need some quick help with a little RegEx problem I'm
having today. Perhaps one of my C# brothers or sisters can assist me. I'll
buy you a drink at Tech-Ed if you can

I need a regular expression to validate a string representation of a
latitude or longitude measurement.

In the domain of the app I'm working on, a latitude is represented as two
digits, followed either "N" or "S", followed by two digits, followed by an
apostrophe, followed by two more digits. A longitude is represented almost
identically, except that the "N" or "S" would be an "E" or a "W".

Here are some examples:
Latitude: 43N00'00
Longitude: 95W40'00

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Scott

Scroll down or search for words "latitude" or "longitude"
Another resource is regexlib.com, although they did not have this one, their
library is pretty good.
