I have a directory of very large XML files with a structure as this:

file1.xml:

file2.xml:

Now I am looking for a simple way to merge these files (*.xml) files into one output file:

I was thinking about using pure XSLT such as this one:

This works but isn’t as flexible as I want. Being a novice with PowerShell (version 2) eager to learn new best pracctices of working with XML in PowerShell I am wondering what is the simplest, purest PowerShell way of merging the structre of XML documents into one?

Cheers,
Joakim

While the XSLT way to do this is pretty short, so is the PowerShell way:

Hope this helps,
