how to use xmlread in a very simple example

Question

1 个投票

I would like a very simple example for reading numeric data from a xml file using xml read. I would like the xml file to be something like:

<!-- This is a simple xml file containing data -->
<file>
  <data>
     <variable1>100</variable1>
     <variable2>200</variable2>
  </data>
</file>

Thanks. Yes, I have been reading more on this subject and now understand a lot more.

I needed to at least state the following on the first line of the file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Some good advice I received is to use the matlab function "xml2struct", which I have done and that seems to do what I needed.

I would recommend you use xml2struct to save you having to navigate the xml DOM returned by xmlread.

xml = xml2struct(yourxmlfile);
xml.file.data.variable1
xml.file.data.variable2
