Error using matlab.io.xml.transform or matlab.io.xml.dom packages

Hi,

I'm dealing with xml string and trying transform API from this page:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/xml-documents.html?s_tid=CRUX_lftnav

import matlab.io.xml.transform.*
sourceObj = SourceFile("capitals.xml");
transform(Transformer,sourceObj,"capitals.xsl","capitals.html");

and got this error

Error using matlab.io.xml.transform.Transformer/transform

Transform error: file "capitals.xml" does not exist.

I download the example in my folder "~\Documents\MATLAB\Examples\R2022a\matlab" by using this code:

 openExample('matlab/TransformXMLIntoHTMLExample')

and I confrimed the file is in my path, but R2022a still give me same error.

I also tried using matlab.io.xml.dom. and also got file doesn't exist error.

Here are my ver and Toolbox. Did I miss something?

Hi Wu,

I see that you are using relative path in your code and “capitals.xml” is in a different folder. This may be the reason for the error.

You can resolve the issue by using absolute paths instead of relative paths, in both “matlab.io.xml.transform” and “matlab.io.xml.dom”.

Hope this helps!
