Select-Xml
(0)-XPath
(1)-Xml | -Node (ByValue)
[-Namespace ]

Select-Xml
(0)-XPath
-Content (ByValue)
[-Namespace ]

Select-Xml
(0)-XPath
(1)-Path | -PSPath (ByName)
[-Namespace ]

Here is an example of it working:
[5308:0]PS> dir . *xml -Recurse |select-xml ‘//SelectionSet[Name="CertificateProviderTypes"]‘ |fl

Node : SelectionSet
Path : C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Certificate.Format.ps1xml
Pattern : //SelectionSet[Name="CertificateProviderTypes"]

Experiment! Enjoy! Engage!

Ha. Ha. I can do pretty much anything possible via bash or csh via Powershell -- however, I'm being extremely lazy about it. Conceivably (I'm not testing it, and I'm not a Powershell expert), I should be able to: ([xml] [string]::join("`n", (gc -read 10kb Native.Build.targets))).GetElementsByTagName("Internal_LinkOutputFile") | % { $temp = $_.CreateNavigator() ; while ($temp.MoveToParent()) { } ; $temp } Where EVERYTHING in the pipeline is an object, rather than restricted to just text flow. You can go back to your pipe characters and output redirection, I'll stick with my strongly-typed scripting interactive command intepreter. =] Ha. Ha. Ha.
