How can I 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);

Thanks, Jasper, I was looking for something like that yesterday for https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/579150-failed-to-read-xml-error-when-using-xmlread?s_tid=srchtitle
