You can accomplish this by using "componentsSeparatedByString" method of NSString.

NSString * source =  @"hai-welcome";
NSArray * stringArray = [source componentsSeparatedByString:@"-"];
NSString * firstPart = [stringArray objectAtIndex:0]; // Contains string "hai"
NSString * secondPart =[stringArray objectAtIndex:1]; //Contans string "welcome"

Use NSString's componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet method

NSArray* foo = [@"hai-welcome" componentsSeparatedByString: @"-"];
NSString* first = [foo objectAtIndex: 0];
NSString* second = [foo objectAtIndex: 1];

Try this

NSString *str = @"hai-welcome";
NSArray *listItems = [str componentsSeparatedByString:@"-"];

If you wish to work with other than componentsSeparatedByString function, I would offer this solution to adopt:

NSString *myString =  @"hai-welcome";
NSString *firstString = [myString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, [myString rangeOfString:@"-"].location)];
NSString *secondString = [myString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:[firstString stringByAppendingString:@"-"] withString:@""];
