Parsing Through HTLM Style .txt File
I’m trying to read in a txt file with a series of messages describing what is happening during a sporting event. The general format seems to be based on HTML but the file is given as .txt. I’m able to open the file and save it as a variable using fscanf (not sure if this is the most appropiate way for this application). I’m having trouble wrapping my head around how to search for blocks of code that I want to record for further analysis. For example one of things ill be doing is looking for a block like the one below.
<FLAG>
<ID>e9f40b4b-decd-4b47-ae83-e6f9c972c570</ID>
<DT>01.07.2023 16:30:00.000</DT>
<FL>Green</FL>
<LV>Track</LV>
<FI />
</FLAG>
So in plain English i want to look for every time there is <FLAG> and then record the time of day which is denoted by <DT>. I’m pretty rusty with my MATLAB never any reading from .txt files when i was at my best so I think once I get the hand of reading and searching through the file I’ll be able to figure it all out from there.I’m trying to read in a txt file with a series of messages describing what is happening during a sporting event.
