Is this code that matlab runs? If so then perhaps octave maximm
recursion limit is smaller than matlabs. I'd suggest it shouldn't be
for compatiability. Can this code be used to read the same file
under matlab?
So again I declare defeat and say this code cannot be made to
run in Octave.
If it works in matlab for your test file, then I suspect there is
something else we should be doing..
Maybe Alois can answer whether it works in matlab. I can't imagine
that it does because the example file has attribute names containing
':' characters that need to be converted underscores. I had to
modify mbmling in order to do so.
No, I was not able to use xml4mat for loading my XML example files in
Matlab either. I've contacted the author of xml4mat, but got only a
reply that his e-mail has changed and I sent my question to the new
address. So far, I've not received any answer. So, we must assume that
xml4mat is not supported anymore.
I was able to read it using a modified version of XMLTREE. I've
modified XMLTREE in such a way that the colons ':' are replaced by
underscores '_'. Then, the names became valid fieldnames such that
<abc:de value> converts to xml.abc_de = 'value'. An alternative
solution could be, that the colons are used to define subfields such
that the results is xml.abc.de = 'value'. Perhaps, this would be a
nicer solution.
David, which changes did you apply to mbmling.m?
