Hi!
I want to load a .xml file, but instead of the file I get the PathName as mij 'loaded' file. Can anyone help me?
This is my code:
clear all
close all
clc
[FileName, PathName] = uigetfile('*.xml','Select the .xml file');
XMLFile = fullfile(PathName,FileName);
This is what I get in my Workspace. A char with the pathname..

You are not loading the file. fullfile function just build the name of the file.
You need to use xmlread function:

Increase the width of the "Value" column, you will see the full string. Or type "XMLFile" in Command Window.

XMLFile is a character string that contains the filename.
To get the contents of that XML file you need the xmlread() function.

I agree. The XML reading functions in MATLAB are complicated and confusing. That's why I use a utility written by a university that returns the XML file in a friendly and easy to use structure. See attached.
