MATLAB: Read data from file

MATLABtextscan

I have a huge file with data format:
(2,4) (5,6)
(34,26) (22,78)
(18,76) (33,50) etc.
I want to create 4 matrix with data as(2,34,18) ; (4,26,76); (5,22,33) and (6,78,50). I used textscan to read the data but couldn't use it aptly. If anybody could guide me with it, it will be very helpful.

Two variants
fid = fopen( 'cssm.txt' );
cac = textscan( fid, '(%d,%d) (%d,%d)',  'Whitespace','' ...
            ,   'Delimiter',' ', 'CollectOutput',true );
fclose( fid );
num1 = cac{1};
fid = fopen( 'cssm.txt' );
cac = textscan( fid, '%d%d%d%d', 'MultipleDelimsAsOne',true  ...
                   , 'Delimiter','(),', 'CollectOutput',true );
fclose( fid );
num2 = cac{1};
m1 = permute( num2(:,1), [2,1] );
m2 = permute( num2(:,2), [2,1] );
m3 = permute( num2(:,3), [2,1] );
m4 = permute( num2(:,4), [2,1] );
Inspect the result
>> all(all(num1==num2))
ans =
     1
>> num2
num2 =
           2           4           5           6
          34          26          22          78
          18          76          33          50

Do you really want m1,m2,m3 and m4?
