Trying to extract data from an assigned header

I have a file that looks like xml, but not xml.

I want to read the headers and extract the x and y value. I tried a few ways but not able to do it. Here is the construct

<begin>

<datapt>1<datapt>

<xu>mz<xu>

<xv>152<xv>

<yu>ab<yu>

<yv>100<yv>

<t>1412448635<t>

<end>

I want to extract the all these headers into seperate columns to an excel file using matlab. Any help would be really appreciated

hello

nothing fancy - but it works !

aa = readlines('data.xml')

for ci = 2:numel(aa)-1
    line = char(aa(ci));
    ind1 = strfind(line,'>');
    ind2 = strfind(line,'<');
    data_out{ci-1} = line(ind1(1)+1:ind2(2)-1)
    
end
