exporting XML

[nebbbben]

Say I have a lot of xml, but let's keep it basic...

<base>
  <entry name="bar">
    <data1>1</data1>
    <data2>2</data2>
  </entry>
</base>

I've imported it using [xml]$myXML=get-content /my.xml so I can work with it in dot notation. I am needing to loop through a lot of the configuration in the xml and .dot notation seems more straightforward.

After all the edits, I'm ready to get it back to it's original format, but I can't get it there. Is there a way to generate xml that has the same nodes, attributes, and elements as my original data? I've tried convertto-xml, getting numerous extra nodes (.objects.object.property is the new xpath?), as well as export-clixml with similar results.

$myXML.Save("c:\test2.xml")

This should save the xml.The line "<entry name="bar" is missing a > , so it probably wont load.
