breaking down long data from a serial.read

I've searched all through the internet and i couldn't find anything. I have a GPS Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout - 66 channel w/10 Hz updates [PA1616S] : ID 746 : $29.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits and a touchshield slide http://www.liquidware.com/shop/show/TSL/TouchShield+Slide+ . the screen uses a different software to program it http://www.liquidware.com/antipasto_arduino_ide. The GPS sends the data through serial communications and I already got the GPS to send the data to the screen but it just displays the data in a long text that goes off the screen. Im trying to find a way in the Antipasto IDE to break apart the data and place them where i want in the screen.

arduino code:

#include <Adafruit_GPS.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#define RXpin 3            //touchshield slide pins
#define TXpin 2
// If you're using a GPS module:
// Connect the GPS Power pin to 5V
// Connect the GPS Ground pin to ground
// If using software serial (sketch example default):
//   Connect the GPS TX (transmit) pin to Digital 3
//   Connect the GPS RX (receive) pin to Digital 2
// If using hardware serial (e.g. Arduino Mega):
//   Connect the GPS TX (transmit) pin to Arduino RX1, RX2 or RX3
//   Connect the GPS RX (receive) pin to matching TX1, TX2 or TX3

// If you're using the Adafruit GPS shield, change 
// SoftwareSerial mySerial(3, 2); -> SoftwareSerial mySerial(8, 7);
// and make sure the switch is set to SoftSerial

// If using software serial, keep these lines enabled
// (you can change the pin numbers to match your wiring):
SoftwareSerial mySerial(6, 7);
SoftwareSerial touchSerial = SoftwareSerial(RXpin, TXpin);
Adafruit_GPS GPS(&mySerial);
// If using hardware serial (e.g. Arduino Mega), comment
// out the above six lines and enable this line instead:
//Adafruit_GPS GPS(&Serial1);


// Set GPSECHO to 'false' to turn off echoing the GPS data to the Serial console
// Set to 'true' if you want to debug and listen to the raw GPS sentences. 
#define GPSECHO  true

// this keeps track of whether we're using the interrupt
// off by default!
boolean usingInterrupt = false;
void useInterrupt(boolean); // Func prototype keeps Arduino 0023 happy
int tzhour;
int tzminute;
int tzseconds;
int tzmonth;
int tzyear;
int tzday;
void setup()  
{
    
  // connect at 115200 so we can read the GPS fast enough and echo without dropping chars
  // also spit it out
  touchSerial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Adafruit GPS library basic test!");

  // 9600 NMEA is the default baud rate for Adafruit MTK GPS's- some use 4800
  GPS.begin(9600);
  //touchSerial.begin(9600);
  // uncomment this line to turn on RMC (recommended minimum) and GGA (fix data) including altitude
  GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_OUTPUT_RMCGGA);
  // uncomment this line to turn on only the "minimum recommended" data
  //GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_OUTPUT_RMCONLY);
  // For parsing data, we don't suggest using anything but either RMC only or RMC+GGA since
  // the parser doesn't care about other sentences at this time
  
  // Set the update rate
  GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_UPDATE_1HZ);   // 1 Hz update rate
  // For the parsing code to work nicely and have time to sort thru the data, and
  // print it out we don't suggest using anything higher than 1 Hz

  // Request updates on antenna status, comment out to keep quiet
  GPS.sendCommand(PGCMD_ANTENNA);

  // the nice thing about this code is you can have a timer0 interrupt go off
  // every 1 millisecond, and read data from the GPS for you. that makes the
  // loop code a heck of a lot easier!
  useInterrupt(true);

  delay(1000);
  // Ask for firmware version
  mySerial.println(PMTK_Q_RELEASE);

// Interrupt is called once a millisecond, looks for any new GPS data, and stores it

  // if you want to debug, this is a good time to do it!
#ifdef UDR0

    // so be very wary if using OUTPUT_ALLDATA and trytng to print out data

touchshield slide code:

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(115200);
  background(0);
}
void loop(){
char charIn = 0;
byte i = 0;
char stringIn[32] = "";
while(Serial.available()){
charIn = Serial.read();
stringIn[i] = charIn;
i++;
}
  // Clear screen and display the serial buffer as text
  if(stringIn[0]){
   background(0);
   stroke(153);
   text(stringIn,100,135,15); 
  }
 }

If this data is printing to the serial monitor via the arduino, try using Serial.println() rather than Serial.print. the extra "ln" at the end adds a return/enter between instances of running the void loop code. This will help with getting the data to push to the next line in the serial monitor, if thats what you're trying to do.

no i know that. im trying to display it on the touch screen because it displays on the screen for ex: "10:004/22/14" thats the time and date that is shown on the screen. im trying to break apart that and put the tme on the center of the screen and the date onj the bottom right

oh ok. youre way over my head. good luck!
