If given string is:

var s = "['A', 28.006660938911], ['B', 71.993339061089]";

  1. try evaluating it (if you have no access to the PHP code you are using):

    var array = eval("[" + s + "]");

  2. try changing the response to JSON format (if you HAVE access to that PHP code):

    echo json_encode(array(array('A', 28.006660938911), array('B', 71.993339061089)));

  3. if i am wrong and you are given with two different arrays, try splitting the string first
