PowerShell 7.3 - Difficulty in Parsing XML Data with Multiple Namespaces
I'm working through a tutorial and I'm upgrading from an older version and I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me... I'm currently working with PowerShell 7.3 and need to parse an XML file that contains multiple namespaces. The XML looks something like this: ```xml <root xmlns:ns1="http://example.com/ns1" xmlns:ns2="http://example.com/ns2"> <ns1:item> <ns1:name>Item1</ns1:name> <ns2:details> <ns2:description>Detail1</ns2:description> </ns2:details> </ns1:item> <ns1:item> <ns1:name>Item2</ns1:name> <ns2:details> <ns2:description>Detail2</ns2:description> </ns2:details> </ns1:item> </root> ``` Iām trying to extract the names and descriptions using the following code, but I'm working with issues due to the namespaces: ```powershell [xml]$xml = Get-Content -Path 'C:\path\to\your\file.xml' $items = $xml.root.'ns1:item' foreach ($item in $items) { $name = $item.'ns1:name' $description = $item.'ns2:details'.'ns2:description' Write-Output "Name: $name, Description: $description" } ``` Instead of getting the expected output, I receive this behavior message: `want to find an overload for "description" and the argument count: "0".` I've also tried using the `GetElementsByTagName` method, but it doesn't seem to respect the namespaces either. I want to ensure that I correctly access the elements within their respective namespaces. What is the best practice for handling XML with multiple namespaces in PowerShell? Am I missing something in my approach here? This is part of a larger web app I'm building. I recently upgraded to Powershell 3.9. Any suggestions would be helpful. I'm developing on macOS with Powershell. Could this be a known issue?
