MATLAB: Xmlread fails if the xml file extension is other than .xml

MATLABxmlxmlread

Hi,

I am crrently wrting a script that reads and manipulates an XML file. However, I am to read an XML file with a custom extension. For e.g. the name of the XML file is myXMLfile.myExtension. In such a case the xmlread() function fails with the following error:

xmlread('myXMLfile.myExtension')
Error using xmlstringinput (line 42)
File parameter.incparamter not found
Error in xmlread (line 76)
    filename = xmlstringinput(filename,true);

Can someone please guide me on this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Vamsi

It is really common because the syntax works if and only if the function correlates to it , the option I choose is to just change the extension to .xml and to try the reading option , see https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/284557-how-to-call-a-file-without-extension#comment_368357

MATLAB: How to use a function, such as XMLREAD, to parse XML data from a string, instead of from a file in MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b)

The ability to parse XML data from a string, instead of from a file is not available in MATLAB.

To work around this issue, use the attached file, 'XMLREADSTRING.m', which is a modified version of the XMLREAD function:

Sample usage:

% Parse.
myTestDoc = xmlreadstring('<data>Test</data>');
% Write to file in order to test.
xmlwrite('mytest.xml', myTestDoc);

MATLAB: Unable to read XML file using xmlread

You asked to read a file named MHCES_V1_3B_Turbine_RT.xml but that file does not exist in your current directory, and does not exist anywhere on the MATLAB path.

If you are trying to read a file stored in another directory, make sure to include the directory information as part of the file name. See fullfile() for a convenient way to splice together directory information and file name information.
