Getting Zip Code from AddressBook

I'm having trouble getting individual values from the AddressBook framework when the user selects a person from their contact list. I am presenting the standard contact picker view and when they pick a person using this code...

Code:

ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonAddressProperty);
for (CFIndex i = 0; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(multi); i++) {
      NSString *street = (NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi,i);
      NSLog(@"street = %@",street);
}
CFRelease(multi);

This is the output of the log when I do this

Code:

street = {
       City = Atlanta;
       Country = USA;
       CountryCode = ca;
       State = GA;
       Street = "3494 Kuhl Avenue";
       ZIP = 30303;
}

That's great but I need to grab individual elements alone such as zip code or the street so how would I go about that. Is their a way to do this or should I just for loop through the string till I reach "ZIP" and get a substring after the equal sign after that to get zip. Thanks!
