In all seriousness, though, grep is still your friend. He's brought a
couple new friends to the table to help you with this problem; their
names are "sed" and "awk".
With the example below, this should give you what you want:
grep ^node site.pp | sed -e 's/^node //' | awk -F,
'{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) {print $i}}'
