Extracting strings surrounded by parentheses and seperate by commas

Excuse the terrible title.

I have a text file of 1..n lines, each one containing at least one string between parentheses. Within each string, there is one or more strings separated by commas. I need to extract each string, thus:

input file:

(THIS,THAT)
(THE,OTHER)
(THING)
(OR,MAYBE)
(THIS,THING)

Would result in:

THIS
THAT
THE
OTHER
THING
OR
MAYBE
THIS
THING

I'm pulling some stuff over from an IBM mainframe to Unix and I need to do some work on the resulting strings.

awk is it...I just suck at it.

Kindest regards,
Kris
