Getting the coordinates from recognized text. #201

Hello, I have a big "map" which has alot of postals, and using TesseractOCR I want to be able to find each postal, and then using a custom search box, find the postal and zoom to it. Everything is done, it recognizes the postals (atleast alot of them) but I don't know how to get the coordinates from each postal.
