Your function is designed to work when the input argument is a char vector, e.g. '(1,2)', but the error indicates that your function instead gets called with a cell array, e.g., {'(1,2)'}.
If the cell array contains a single char vector, you could add the following line to the top of your function to extract the char vector from the cell:
if iscell(input_str)
input_str = input_str{1}
end
If the cell arrray contains multiple elements, consider a second outer loop over the elements of the cell array.
Note that there are builtin ways to extract numbers from formatted text, such as sscanf() or textscan(). E.g.,
sscanf('(1.1,2.2)', '(%f,%f)', [1, 2])
extracts [1.1, 2.2] from the formatted string.

Use regular expressions, for example
str2double(regexp("(1, 2)", "\d+", "match"))
for integer only and
str2double(regexp("(1.2, 3)", "\d+\.?\d*", "match"))
for floating point and integers.
