Remove Curly brackets from string/array - what am I working with?

I have acutally no clue what I am working with.
I got tables containing i.e. the following:
'[[0, 145, 0], [145, 169, 1], [169, 1693, 3], [1693, 1708, 1], [1708, 2729, 3], [2729, 2779, 0]]'
when I paste it in the cmd-window it looks like that:
{'[[0, 145, 0], [145, 169, 1], [169, 1693, 3], [1693, 1708, 1], [1708, 2729, 3], [2729, 2779, 0]]'}
I actually would like to access the numerical values, but don't know how - can I somehow remove those brackets and then access them?
Thanks for your help!

We have no clue what you're dealing with either. It looks like a character array, not a table. Not sure exactly what you're pasting into the command window either but it looks like it might be a cell because it puts braces around it. Let us help you by attaching your variable in a .mat file
save('answers.mat', 'YourVariable');

Your data seems to be a cell containing JSON data:
data={'[[0, 145, 0], [145, 169, 1], [169, 1693, 3], [1693, 1708, 1], [1708, 2729, 3], [2729, 2779, 0]]'};
jsondecode(data{1})

@Lukas Netzer: was the data provided to you in a .mat file? If not, please upload the original data file.
