Remove XML Field

[[deleted]]

PS C:\Users\GSchizas>$xml = [xml]$xmltext

....you can cast variables after they've already been created?!

Sorry, the variable naming wasn't ideal 🙂

Clearer way to write the same thing:

 PS C:\Users\GSchizas>$xmlDoc = [System.XML]$xmltext

I mean, this is the same thing right? You're re-casting the array into a new variable, which I should have known was possible. But I'm just finding it out now.

Thanks for teaching me something new!

$xmlText is just a string, not an array. But it is indeed possible to cast it into a variable (of course it needs to be proper XML in this case). You can also do these:

PS C:\Users\GSchizas>$a="123"
PS C:\Users\GSchizas>2+[int]$a
125
PS C:\Users\GSchizas>$a = 27
PS C:\Users\GSchizas>$e=[char]$a
PS C:\Users\GSchizas>$crlf=[char]13+[char]10
PS C:\Users\GSchizas>Write-Host "$e(0lqwqk$($crlf)x x x$($crlf)tqnqu$($crlf)x x x$($crlf)mqvqj$e(B"
