You could check out the ctv package that was recently announced.
It uses XML so its source would provide an example.
If its a one-time operation, Excel reads XML and you could then
use one of the many Excel to R possibilities.
For an xml file like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<variables>
<a>100</a>
<b>23</b>
<z>666</z>
</variables>
its a one-liner with the XML package (library(XML)):
xmlReadSimple <-
function(xmlFile){
as.list(xmlSApply(xmlRoot(xmlTreeParse(xmlFile)),xmlValue))
}
add an lapply(...,as.numeric) for conversion to numbers.
sweet.
