Can anyone explain why, given the input string

 1 M     HE    2.140

[row, cnt, err] = sscanf( "%4d %1s %4s %8.3f", str )
row

fails with "error: sscanf: invalid format specified"

whereas

[row, cnt, err] = sscanf( "%d %s %s %f", str )
row

prints

row =

    1.0000
   77.0000
   72.0000
   69.0000
    2.1400
...

(and yes, I know what 77, 72, and 69 are, that's not the question)

TIA
