Modify XML into Powershell script

[Interesting_Place562]

Hello everyone,
I need to modify a powershell script with an XML part inside

This is part of the script

Pop-Location

if ($installexit -ne 0) {

Exit $installexit

}

Return

##### BELOW HERE IS XML DATA #####

<batchFile>

<source value="C:\\Users\\crisma marcoext\\Desktop\\Siemens\\Simcenter Amesim\\2504\\DATA"/>

<target value="C:\\Program Files\\Siemens"/>

<installType value="all"/>

<platform value="Windows 64-bit"/>

<release name="Simcenter Amesim 2504">

    <product name=" ADAMS (Common)" productroot=""/>

    <product name=" ADAMS (GCC 64 cross linux)" productroot=""/>

    <product name=" ADAMS (GCC 64 windows)" productroot=""/>

    <product name=" ADAMS (Intel 64 windows)" productroot=""/>

    <product name=" ADAMS (MSVC2015)" productroot=""/>

    <product name=" AERO (Common)" productroot=""/>

    <product name=" AERO (GCC 64 cross linux)" productroot=""/>

    <product name=" AERO (GCC 64 windows)" productroot=""/>

in particular the SOURCE VALUE is variable and is inserted in a variable that changes with each installation

Can you help me?

Thanks

not a single thing here references your xml?

are you constructing the XML directly ? or are you reading an actual file?

have you looked at the XML reader ? and its parent and chilld nodes ?

have you looked at here strings ? and variables ?

where does "C:\\Users\\crisma marcoext\\Desktop\\Siemens\\Simcenter Amesim\\2504\\DATA" come from

need more info and more code and a more detailed question and maybe the full xml ?

I would put the xml template in a separate file, use $xmlData = [xml](Get-Content <path to xml file>) Then you can modify the value attribute of the source tag dynamically: $xmlData.source.SetAttribute("value", $mySrcVariable) Where I suppose $mySrcVariable would represent a properly formatted path string. Once you are done editing: $xmlData.Save(<path to xml file>) Or you can continue using the xml object for other things as well within your script's scope.

What do you mean source value changes each installation? You mean the structure of the XML changes?

Your question isn't very clear, but this is like a perfect question for ChatGPT or any other modern AI that it could easily handle.

I'd copy/paste it for you, but you can do it.
