While Loop column vector of strings

I am trying to make a column of names and a column of numbers given a .txt file. The names are always next to the number, with a ';' in between them. The way my code is set up, it looks like

fh = fopen('phoneList1.txt');

line = fgetl(fh);

vec = [];

numbers= [];

while (ischar(line))

    [checkstuff, yak] = strtok(line, ';');

    [blah, bleh] = strtok(yak, '(');

    vec = [checkstuff vec];

    numbers = [bleh numbers];

    line = fgetl(fh);

end

fclose(fh);

But my vec output returns a one-by-one vector of all the names combined into one string with no spaces in between them, how can I give each name its own row?

If these are formatted phone numbers, they're text, too...

fh = fopen('phoneList1.txt');
c=textscan(fh,'%s %s','delimiter',';','collectoutput',1);

You'll have a cell array of Nx2, the first column will be the names the second the numbers.
