Extract numberpairs separated by brackets contained in a cell array into numeric vectors

I have got a cell array like:

a{1,1} = ( 40 1) ( 41 1) ( 42 1) ( 44 1000) ( 45 11)

a{2,1} = ( 46 5)

a{3,1} = ( 47 30)

and I would like to receive 2 numeric vectors according to the number pairs:

b =[40;41;42;44;45;46;47] and

c =[1;1;1;1000;11;5;30]

Thank you in advance.

Is the data in the cell array a string, such as a{1,1} = '( 40 1) ( 41 1) ( 42 1) ( 44 1000) ( 45 11)'?

Yes

a{1,1} = '( 40 1) ( 41 1) ( 42 1) ( 44 1000) ( 45 11)';
a{2,1} = '( 46 5)';
a{3,1} = '( 47 30)';

b=sscanf([a{:}],'( %f %f) ');
c=reshape(b,2,[])'
c =
          40           1
          41           1
          42           1
          44        1000
          45          11
          46           5
          47          30

Thanks a lot!

It's exactly, what I was looking for
