How do I find a word in an XML file

and if not there , if is, else.

specificaly looking node in web.config file. if there, check value of attribute.

if not there want add node, know how do. (thank all!)

i thoght had working last week, says can't run process on null value when node not found.

here string causes error:

$wctochange = $xml.configuration."system.webserver".security.requestfiltering.requestlimits.getattribute("maxallowedcontentlength")

hi olddog1,

if want node xml-file, better use xml "system.xml.xmldocument object" in powershell have access xml specific methods , properties. "select-string" handle xml normal txt document , string objects, isn´t wrong @ want show solution:

$path = "c:\test.xml"  $xmldata = [xml](get-content $path)  $xmldata.selectnodes("/rootnode/node2/requestlimits")

shows values of requestlimits nodes. more xml properties , methods go here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y3y47afh.aspx or call get-member after curtain object. example: $xmldata | get-member
