Importing Coordinates from a SVG file

I'm unable to import a number of coordinates given an image SVG file (I'm using MATLAB)

I've place a quater of the code at the bottom, I would need to extract values x1, y1, x2, y2 into an array

SVG File below

version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"? Created with vcg library -- <svg width="12.000000cm" height="12.000000cm" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:cc="http://web.resource.org/cc/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

Hello, I know it has been a while since you posted this, but here is a small code to extract the information from your svg file. It will give you a structure with the names of the fields automatically taken from the file.
