How to read CDATA in XML file with PowerShell?

cdata, powershell, xml

Solution

`$topic.topicDetail."#cdata-section"`

or

`$topic.topicDetail.InnerText`

Problem

I am having a difficult time reading an XML file with Cdata inside. in $xmlsource ``` <list> <topic> <topicTitle>Test</topicTitle> <topicDetail><![CDATA[<br>randomHTMLhere</br>]]></topicDetail> </topic> </list> ``` powershell ``` [xml]$xml = get-content $xmlsource foreach ($topic in $xml.list) { $topic.topicTitle $topic.topicDetail } ``` $topic.topicDetail will be null while $topic.topicTitle will not be. Any ideas?
