I need to edit a bunch of xml files within a specific directory. I would prefer to do this in a powershell script.
I have a directory on a server that has a ton of xml files that have some formatting issues with the end brackets in some of the files. I need the end brackets removed on certain lines where the attribute name is in bold. Removing the end bracket will un-bold the attribute name and fix the xml file. The format of the file names go as follows: 2016118E000013931.xml.sec (obviously the number tag after 2016118E changes per xml file). The formatting of each line of code in each xml file is the same and the extra end bracket where it is not needed occurs in the same location in the xml file. I'm still new at powershell so any help would be much appreciated.
The location of these files occurs in only one place on this server so the powershell script would only be looking in a specific directory location.
Thanks again,
