How can I know upto which part in a NSString a UIlabel can contain?

Question

1. I have two labels side by side in the ipad with each taking half the screen.
2. I dont want to use the scrollview.
3. I just want the left label to contain the exact amount of test it can and want the remaining to go to the right label.

How can I get the length of the string that a fixed size UILabel can contain?
