To start, I think it would be easier to take the path of least resistance. So for now, I’m going to go for just telling me if the XML I’m reading is different from my authoritative source. If it is different, output the differences.
Now I had to check the actual file, which I cannot post because it’s loaded with confidential data, is not truly an XML file. It’s is .config file with hints of XML formatting inside it. Using my trusty XML Notepad viewer, I can see the file basically has a node, followed by another node which is the same throughout the file. Each of these nodes has three nodes. Those are the values I’m reading. I can output the current file into out-gridview and it’s pretty. It would be nice if I could compare the two files and output the differences into out-gridview all nice and pretty. I’ll work on that.
Any better ideas you have, please share.
