Need more examples for Select-Xml #11067

Closed erentz71 closed 3 months ago

Type of issue

Outdated article

Feedback

Good article but examples don't fit a broad number of applications. When reading content from a file, many suggest casting the input to xml. They allude to problems with encoding, space in the first line and others. I've found the Microsoft examples don't work with many other xml files, but casting seems to have broader coverage.

Can you provide a specific example that doesn't work or needs casting?
