help octave

Hi,

Can anyone help me with using "fscanf". My problem is:

Say the input file named "num" is :

pp = 898
uiu = 8990
990
008


then in octave:

>kk = fopen("num","r");
>frewind(kk)
>k = fscan(kk,"pp = %f")
k = 898
>k = fscan(kk,"uiu = %f")
warning: fscanf: invalid conversion
error: value on right hand side of assignment is undefined


It seems like if I do the pattern matching consecutively, the "fscanf" would 
not work any more; otherwise, it would work perfectly. 

But in my assignment, I have to do pattern matching consecutively. How can I 
solve this problem??

Can somebody help please??

Thank You!!
