Write value to xml file, using Powershell
0
I have a PS script to read value from XML file:
PS D:> $xml = [xml](Get-Content C:Usersmyuser.VirtualBoxVirtualBox.xml)
PS D:> $VMFolder = $xml.VirtualBox.Global.SystemProperties.defaultMachineFolder
PS D:> echo $VMFolder
D:VirtualboxVMs
the example of xml file:
<VirtualBox xmlns="http://www.virtualbox.org/" version="1.12-windows">
<Global>
<SystemProperties defaultMachineFolder="D:VirtualboxVMs" defaultHardDiskFormat="VDI" VRDEAuthLibrary="VBoxAuth" webServiceAuthLibrary="VBoxAuth" LogHistoryCount="3" exclusiveHwVirt="false"/>
</Global>
</VirtualBox>
Can anyone give me an example, how to change value of defaultMachineFolder="D:VirtualboxVMs" to "D:newlocation" using PowerShell?

$xml.Save("C:Usersmyuser.VirtualBoxVirtualBox.xml")

Unfortunately, original file in Unix (LF) encoding, and command save this file in Windows (CR LF) encoding. Is there any way to save this file with respect with encoding? Unfortunately, $xml.Save("C:Users~~~VirtualBox111.xml") -Encoding "UTF8" didn't work.

Powershell[xml]data type should be actually .NetXmlDocument()thus you should be able to call$xml.Save()on anXmlWriter()which you can properly set up
