DS1307 Individual Digit Request

Projects Programming
1

Hey everyone... your help is appreciated on this one. I'm creating a clock using a DS1307 with my Ard Pro Mini. The problem that I have is I need to get a hold of each digit making up the current time off the DS1307 and assign it to a variable.
.
For Example:
. from the DS1307, the current time is 13:18:59

I need to be able to isolate the seconds into two different variables such that the 5 goes into one variable and the 9 goes into another variable. Same thing for the minutes and and hours. Thus there will six different variable holding the current time.
.
Without going into much detail, this is for a POV device and each digit is represented graphically with a referenced array. There are a total of 10 arrays such that 0 through 9 is represented.
.
Thank you!

I'm not paying by the word so I can afford to give you some details. The values are stored as binary coded decimal values which actually makes your job fairly simple. Your value of 59 does not come back as the binary number 00111011, but it comes back as 01011001. The upper four bits are the four bit binary representation for the number 5 and the lower four bits are the four bit binary representation for the number 9. Check out this link http://www.planetarduino.org/?cat=302 for more information on how to deal with this data (near the bottom), especially the listing for example7p32.pdf.

[Edit]Oops - wrong example, try example7p41.pdf.
