Convert a string in char to array in MATLAB -

i have list of strings in char array:

'gvs(0.000000000000000e+000, 1.601985139535780e+002)' 'gvs(-5.000000000000000e-005, 1.365231866954370e+002)' 'gvs(-1.000000000000000e-004, 1.169431404340180e+002)' 'gvs(-5.000000000000000e-004, 3.187711314514890e+001)' 'gvs(-2.000000000000000e-004, 8.589930648472340e+001)' 

which trying convert array of numbers (ignoring gvs, comma , brackets), can't quite work out i'm doing wrong?

cols = length(variables) + length(parameters); % unused rows = length(results);  = 1:rows;     res(a,:) = sscanf ((results{a,1}(1,:)),'%*s %f %f'); end 

i've tried textscan, can't work right either

for = 1:rows;     res = cell (textscan ((results{a,1}(1,:)),'%*s %f %f','delimiter', {'(',' '},'multipledelimsasone',1)); end 

any appreciated!

thanks

replace

res(a,:) = sscanf ((results{a,1}(1,:)),'%*s %f %f'); 

with

res(a,:) = sscanf ((results{a,1}(1,:)),'gvs(%f, %f)');
