Hi,

In C(ompatibility) mode, *scanf skip '*' flag does not work: 

in 1.93:

  octave:1> a="1.1 1.2 1.3"
  a = 1.1 1.2 1.3
  octave:2> [q w]=sscanf(a,"%f%*f%f","C")
  q = 1.1000

  w = []

  octave:3> [q w]=sscanf(a,"%f%*f%f")
  q =

    1.1000
    1.3000

  w = 2

in 1.1.1:

  octave:1> a="1.1 1.2 1.3"
  a = 1.1 1.2 1.3
  octave:2> [q w]=sscanf(a,"%f%*f%f")
  q = 1.1000

  w = 1.3000
