c = {'21.15 (cd)';...
     '42.12 (cd)';...
     '24.45 (cd)'};
func = @(x) sscanf(c{x},'%f');
Wanted = arrayfun(func,1:numel(c)).'

Hi Ravi, for my matrix I will have allways each time a different string of numbers, only text in brackets will be the same, so I need something that will scan and erase only text...Thanks
