XML get certain data from node in Matlab 2015b

I have parsed an xml node into my MATLAB project with the following information:

      Name: '#text'
Attributes: []
      Data: '500'
  Children: []

I can easily acess the name of the node using node.getNodeName.

Now I want to read the data out of this node, but I don't get MATLAB to do this.

I tried:

dataString=node.getData;

and 

dataString=char(node.getData);

In both cases I got this error: 

Argument to dynamic structure reference must evaluate to a valid field name.

What went wrong with my code?

Solution

  • To precise my comments, your question did not contain any dynamic field names, but your code does!

    The relevant code lines are the two lines

    struct1.(theChild.getNodeName)=char(nameChild.getData);

    Here theChild.getNodeName is of type java.lang.String and not of type char. Use this line instead:

    struct1.(char(theChild.getNodeName))=char(nameChild.getData);
