    Hello,

    I have an xml file with me and I have to read that file by the PowerShell. Is it possible to read the xml file output by the PowerShell?

    Regards,

    Shashank

    What have you tried?

    This is not the right place to ask other people to train you in PowerShell basics or write code for you.

    Are you asking how to load an XML file?  WHat d you mena by reading the "output"?

    To load XML:

    [xml]$xml = Get-Content yourfile.xml

    Hello,

    I wrote this code:

     $r = Import-Clixml <location with file name and
    extension>

    $r | fl | more

    $r.Report

    $r.Report.Failures
    |fl

    $r.Report.Failures
    |Select
    -Last 1

    $i=0;$r.report.Failures | foreach { $_ | Select-Object @{name="index";expression={$i}},timestamp,failurecode,failuretype,failureside;$i++} | ft

    But it is giving an error.

    Regards,

    Hello,

    Thanks for the reply. "Reading the Output" means, we have a xml file and that file is not a human friendly in the perspective of reading, so I want that command to read the xml file just like the output of a command when we run in PowerShell.

    Regards,

    Shashank

    Your question is very vague and ambiguous.  XML file can be loaded as I showed you.  CliXML files are very special files that can save PowerShell objects.  The commands are not designed to load (read) general XML files.

    Please do a little research on PowerShell and XML in order to understand why your question is ambiguous and impossible to answer as asked.
