Read set framents of string.

I have a lot of strings and I want only to read part of them and write to variable value of the string example :
abcdefghR12X478Y124
I need to read a coordinates of this file
so X - 478
and Y - 124
what is the best way to extract it from the file name and write to X variable and Y variable.
