We want to find out when the goals were scored in a particular soccer game. For each game, we are given a "Goal Event Data" XML string from a soccer database. Your job is to pick out the "Elapsed Time" number for each goal. Return the numbers for each goal as a column vector of double precision numbers.
This translates to finding the number between the "<elapsed>" tags.
Example
Given this input
ged = '<goal><value><elapsed>22</elapsed><subtype>header</subtype></value></goal>'
you should return the number 22.
Note that you must return the number 22 and not the string.
Feature Tip
R2016b introduces string arrays and text manipulation functions which can help. To learn more see MATLAB Characters and Strings.

Perhaps a new problem group dealing with string arrays, character arrays, and cell arrays of character vectors can be added on Cody.
