[SOLVED] Can't figure out right regex

[Pedroski55]

Maybe like this:

import regex
 
coords = '45° 46\' 52" N 108° 30\' 14" W'
# simple it up a bit, all those backstrokes are confusing
string = coords.replace('°', ' degrees').replace('\'', ' minutes').replace('"', ' seconds') 
# regex for string 
e = regex.compile(r'(\d+)\s+degrees\s+(\d+)\s+minutes\s+(\d+)\s+seconds\s+([NSWE])\s+(\d+)\s+degrees\s+(\d+)\s+minutes\s+(\d+)\s+seconds\s+([NSWE])') 
# find what you want
res = e.match(string)
for e in res.groups():
    print(e)

Output:
45
46
52
N
108
30
14
W

I believe you can do the arithmetic.
