I have an xml document (actually a NWF file) that has a node which contains a serialized object. It is xml but all less-than-signs have been changed to "<" and the same for greater-than-signs, ampersands and other symbols.
I need to read this field into a 'proper' xml format so that I can traverse it and update some values in it.
My first attempt was to read it into a variable as a string and use Replace to reformate the symbols. But since this field has an xml declaration, when I cast the newly cleaned string as xml it failed.
It also seems pretty clunky. Is this possible to do in PowerShell? Should I use c# instead? I will be doing this process on about a dozen files periodically. Not high volume but will need to run on a production server.
