How to get Matlab to read correct amount of xml nodes

Question

I\'m reading a simple xml file using matlab\'s xmlread internal function.

Answer 1

I felt that @cholland answer was good, but I didn't like the extra xml work. So here is a solution to strip the whitespace from a copy of the xml file which is the root cause of the unwanted elements.

fid = fopen('tmpCopy.xml','wt');
str = regexprep(fileread(filename),'[\n\r]+',' ');
str = regexprep(str,'>[\s]*<','><');
fprintf(fid,'%s', str);
fclose(fid);
