Remove String and extract numbers to move to new column

I have a column like that:
WPS
"[0, 0]"
"[0, 5]"
"[5, 115]"
"[115, 219]"
"[219, 262]"
"[262, 328]"
"[328, 408]"
"[408, 424]"
"[424, 531]"
"[531, 562]"
Now for me to be able to further work with that, I would like to move the first and the second number in each of the strings to seperate new columns, which should look like that:
WP1 WP2
0 0
0 5
5 115
115 219
219 262
262 328
328 408
408 424
424 531
531 562
Now I found out that it somehow can be done with regular expressions, but I can not really figure out how. I'm thinking I need to use str2num but this would not work, as my string still contains brackets - any hint is appreciated - thank you!

S = [...
"[0, 0]"
"[0, 5]"
"[5, 115]"
"[115, 219]"
"[219, 262]"
"[262, 328]"
"[328, 408]"
"[408, 424]"
"[424, 531]"
"[531, 562]"];
M = sscanf([S{:}],'[%f,%f]',[2,Inf]).'
