PowerShell 7.3 - how to to Parse Complex XML Structure with Select-Xml
I'm trying to implement I've encountered a strange issue with I've been researching this but I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer... I'm trying to parse a complex XML file using PowerShell 7.3, but I'm running into issues when trying to extract specific nodes. The XML structure has nested elements, and when I use `Select-Xml`, it doesn't seem to return the expected results. Here's a snippet of the XML I'm working with: ```xml <root> <data> <item> <name>Item1</name> <value>100</value> </item> <item> <name>Item2</name> <value>200</value> </item> </data> </root> ``` I tried the following command to fetch all `item` nodes: ```powershell $xml = Get-Content -Path 'C:\path\to\file.xml' $items = $xml | Select-Xml -XPath '//item' ``` However, `$items` returns an empty collection. I checked the XML loading, and it seems fine because I can access it directly using `Get-Content`. I also tried using `ConvertFrom-Xml`, but it doesn't give me the nested structure I need. I expect to have an array of items with their names and values, but I don't know how to extract that effectively. Is there a better approach to handle this, or is there something wrong with my XPath expression? Any help would be appreciated! This is part of a larger CLI tool I'm building. I'm working with Powershell in a Docker container on CentOS. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any ideas how to fix this?
