Need help with text file parse

-

i know powershell (enough by); however, have ran issue in cant find answer on google..

have test.audit file (for example) contains

<check_type>        <custom_item>                system              : "linux"         type                : "check"         description         : "8.1.1.2 other text blah blah"     </custom_item>           <custom_item>                system              : "linux"         type                : "check"         description         : "8.1.1.1 more text blah blah"     </custom_item>           <custom_item>                system              : "linux"         type                : "check"         description         : "8.1.1.3 text blah blah"     </custom_item>        </check_type>


looks xml file, not in traditional format i'm use to. 

anyway, using test.audit file.. trying delete entire "custom_item" string contains description of "8.1.1.1".

new file like

<check_type>        <custom_item>                system              : "linux"         type                : "check"         description         : "8.1.1.2 other text blah blah"     </custom_item>                <custom_item>                system              : "linux"         type                : "check"         description         : "8.1.1.3 text blah blah"     </custom_item>        </check_type>


the thing has replied me on forum create parser, when makes seem single line of text only. 

can me this..

thanks

there smarter way, worked me:

[xml]$weirdfile = get-content 'c:\users\mikecrowley\desktop\new folder\file.txt' $resultsarray = $weirdfile.check_type.custom_item | {$_ -notlike '*description         : "8.1.1.2*'}  #display results $resultsarray
