If you want to read the input file and write a new ".xml" file with the "added" string, you can try this:

% Open input file
fp=fopen('a.xml','rt');
% Open new output file
fp_out=fopen('new_file.xml','wt');

% Define the reference tag
ref_tag='<A';
% Define the line to be added
str_to_add='   <D>this is the sample</D>';

% Read the input file
tline = fgets(fp);
while ischar(tline)
% Get the current tag
   [curr_tag,str]=strtok(tline);
% If the reference tag is found, add the new line
   if(strcmp(curr_tag,ref_tag))
      fprintf(fp_out,'%s%s\n',tline,str_to_add);
% Else print the line
   else
      fprintf(fp_out,'%s',tline);
   end
% Read the next input line   
   tline = fgets(fp);
end
% Close the input file
fclose(fp);
% Close the output file
fclose(fp_out);

Otherwise, if you want to import the imput file into MatLab workspace and add the new line, you can store it in a cellarray:

% Open input file
fp=fopen('a.xml','rt');

% Define the reference tag
ref_tag='<A';
% Define the line to be added
str_to_add='   <D>this is the sample</D>';

% Read the input file
cnt=1;
tline = fgets(fp);
while ischar(tline)
% Get the current tag
   [curr_tag,str]=strtok(tline);
% If the reference tag is found, add the new line
   if(strcmp(curr_tag,ref_tag))
      C(cnt)=cellstr(tline);
      cnt=cnt+1;
      C(cnt)=cellstr(str_to_add);
      cnt=cnt+1;
% Else print the line
   else
      C(cnt)=cellstr(tline);
      cnt=cnt+1;
   end
% Read the next input line   
   tline = fgets(fp);
end
% Close the input file
fclose(fp);

Hope this helps.
