We can also use stringr::str_split:

library(stringr)
x <- "[('here', 29), ('negative', 1.0)]"
v1 <- str_split(x, "[[:punct:] ]")[[1]]
v1[nchar(v1)>1]
#[1] "here"     "29"       "negative"

We can use strsplit

v1 <- strsplit(x, "[[:punct:] ]")[[1]]
v1[nzchar(v1)][1:3]
#[1] "here"     "29"       "negative"
