access xml text node's content in matlab

Question

Having an xml file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
  <Bla>
    BlaDiBla
  </Bla>
</Configuration>

I am wondering whether there is a more concise way to obtain 'BlaDiBla' using standard matlab (no additional toolbox) than this:

xmlfile = fullfile('C:\tttttt', 'Configuration.xml');
xDoc = xmlread(xmlfile);

char(xDoc.getElementsByTagName('Bla').item(0).getFirstChild.getData)

Thanks.

Try xml_io_tools from the File Exchange.

The syntax is:

  xmlfile = fullfile('C:\tttttt', 'Configuration.xml');
  struct = xml_load_any(xmlFile);

I try to make this future proof. Do you reckon I can easily use this 'external' code in conjunction with matlab coder to produce C code?

@csetzkorn, I have no idea. Unfortunately their code is p-code, which means that nobody can see it.
