MATLAB: Does XMLREAD not work on a file with a period in the file name in MATLAB 7.0 (R14)

filefilenameMATLABnameperiodr14xmlxmlread

I would like to use XMLREAD to read a file that has a period in the file name. However, I receive an error when I try to read it. The error message I receive is:
 ??? Error using ==> iofun\private\xmlstringinput
 File temp.name.xml not found
 Error in ==> xmlread at 29
     fileName = xmlstringinput(fileName,logical(1));

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
We have verified that there is a bug in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) with XMLREAD.
There are currently no known workarounds other than to avoid using a period in the file name of the XML document.
