fscanf question when ignoring header

Hello,
I have a text file that im having issues with. Ive been able to read my others files but this one for some reason isnt working properly when trying to us fscanf.
The file has 5 headers then data of 2k samples:
SAMPLES: 2000
BITSPERSAMPLE: 32
CHANNELS: 1
SAMPLERATE: 96000
NORMALIZED: FALSE
50
45
30
etc...till 2k values
My code: for convience lets say this file is file # 4.
formatSpec = '%*s %f'; %ignore strings and keep integers
myCell = {}; %create cell to put data into after uigetfile
[file,path] = uigetfile('*.rnd','MultiSelect', 'on');
%creates file{1,X}
%open file # 4
pathname = file{1,4};
%use current pathname to open file
fileID = fopen(pathname,'r');
%read file with formatSpec set to ignore strings and read only numbers
myCell{1,1} = fscanf(fileID,formatSpec);
Pretty straightforward. And my code for opening all of my other files that have different headers/footers works fine,and they all use this same setup for formatSpec and fscanf. But when opening this file it just returns [2000,32,1,96000] in myCell.

'%*s %f' does not mean to skip all strings and then look for a number. It means to skip one string and then look for a number. So it will skip 'NORMALIZED' and then try to read a number but will fail because FALSE is not a number.

In the case where the header starts with a known string and ends with a known string then you can use textscan CommentStyle parameter to skip the content.
Otherwise you need to know something more about the pattern that indicates end of header.
A lot of the time it can make sense to read everything in as a single string and then manipulate it with regexp or regexprep.
