I would suggest writing javascript to do that.

Do you have any control over the format?
Are they geographic coordinates?
If so in what format?
What order (lat then lng or lng then lat)?
Are there defined separators?
What reference frame?
Are they addresses?
Are they mixed addresses and coordinates?

You probably need to do some error checking.

You could look at Mike Williams' tutorial for some code that processes
text input (from files, but the processing will be the same).
