Question:
I would like to insert a node between 2 others already existing.
In my script, I receive a xml variable and I would like to update this one.
Ex :
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
the result should be :
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
When I use a appendChild, the insert is done always done at the end…
An idea ?
Thanks !
Answer:
As @Grhm answered, you can do it by InsertAfter. I would recommend always to try to pipe it to Get-Member to get the hint.

Personally I think gm (or Get-Member) is the most useful cmdlet in PowerShell 😉
