Unable to store AT command response from sim808 module!

Hello all, I am working with the STM32L031k6 microcontroller with the SIM808 GSM/GPS module. This is my hardware connection:

• SIM808_TX >> STM32 PA_15
• SIM808_RX >> STM32 PA_2

In the main.cpp, I am declaring:

Serial GPRS(PA_2, PA_15); //MCU tx,rx

Every thing is working great. I am able to make an MQTT connection and send dummy data as well.

What I want to do is to read the GPS Data, extract the latitude and Longitude and publish them.

The process to get GPS data is:

• 1) AT+CGPSPWR=1
• 2) AT+CGNSSEQ=RMC
• 3) AT+CGNSINF

the command <<code>>AT+CGNSINF <</code>>will reply with the string I want to use.

I am trying everything possible, but I am unable to save the reply of "AT+CGNSINF" command!

How can I read the response and save it in a variable? If I can get it in a variable, I can later use it to extract the latitude and longitude and publish it using MQTT.

Any help in the matter is highly appreciated!

My code is as follows:

#include "mbed.h"
#include <string.h>

const int buffer_size = 255;
char buffer[buffer_size+1];
char gpsstr[buffer_size+1];
char response[200];

Serial GPRS(PA_2, PA_15); //MCU tx,rx
Serial pc(SERIAL_TX, SERIAL_RX,9600);

void cle()
{
    for(int i=0;i<buffer_size;i++)
    {
        buffer[i]=0;
    }
}

void rec() 
{
    //cle();
    int i=0;
    while(GPRS.readable()&& i<buffer_size) 
    {
        buffer[i]=GPRS.getc();                    
        i++; 
    }   
}


int main(){
    pc.printf("starting code...");
    wait(2);
    
    GPRS.attach(&rec, Serial::RxIrq);
    wait(1);
    GPRS.printf("AT\r\n");
    wait(1);
    GPRS.printf("AT+CGNSPWR=1\r\n");
    wait(1);
    GPRS.printf("AT+CGNSSEQ=RMC\r\n");
    wait(1);
    cle();
    GPRS.printf("AT+CGNSINF\r\n");
    wait(1);
    //getResponse(); 
    GPRS.printf("data:%s",buffer);
}
