Default EXTRACT NUMBERS FROM TEXT STRING

Hey Guys,
I have a text string with numbers that I need to separate into adjoining
columns.
Example:
HBFO(144)(144)(36)(24)(24)[6] This is a bid item on a government project.
Each number enclosed in parenthesis represents a fiber optic cable. I need
to extract the different numbers and place each of them in a separate column
for calculating the bid,,i.e
A B C D
E F G
HBFO(144)(144)(36)(24)(24)[6] 144 144 36 24 24 6

Your help will be greatly appreciated
