[Boost-users] [spirit] Qi rule for GPS NMEA

Hello, I'm digging into a qi rule for GPS NMEA and want to approach it as a kind of 2-pass parser. First pass to extract the message and hex-formatted checksum. Next pass to parse out the actual messages from the message. I believe I comprehend how to go about the second pass. For the first pass, I want to parse $XYZ*HH\r\n. That's the literal '$', and everything between there and the literal '*', followed by the two hex characters, as a complete field, followed by the terminal CR+LF. How do I express the "all characters excluding '*'" for the NMEA message? Then the hex field? Thanks... Regards, Michael Powell
