This might works for you.

NSRange range = [theString rangeOfString:@">"];

NSString *coordinate = [theString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(1, range.location-1)];

NSArray *coordinateValues = [coordinate componentsSeparatedByString:@","];

NSString *xValue = [coordinateValues objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *yValue = [coordinateValues objectAtIndex:1];

Unless you're 100% sure the string format will never change, you might want to investigate using a regular expression library to parse the values out. I've been using RegExKit Lite for this with great success.

Excellent! Thanks
