1% 'xml2struct': read an xml file as a Matlab structure, converts numeric character strings into numbers
2%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3% function [s,RootTag,errormsg]=xml2struct(filename,varargin)
4%
5% OUTPUT:
6% s= Matlab structure corresponding to the input xml file
7% RootTag= name of the root tag in the xml file
8% errormsg: errormessage, ='' by default
9%
10% INPUT:
11% filename: name of the xml file
12% varargin: optional list of strings to restrict the reading to a selection of subtrees, for instance 'GeometryCalib' (save reading time)
