Get-Content function is not working in PowerShell-CodePudding

I am trying to read XML content from which is stored in a text file. But it is not working properly. Please go through my code as mention below:

Write-Host 'Welcome'
$path='D:\SOAP\PozEncoXML.txt'
$xml=[xml](Get-Content -path $path)
Write-Host 'File Content'
write-host $xml
$node= $xml.Envelope.Body.uploadFileToUcm.document.Content='Hello world'
Write-Host $node

In line no 3 of the above code I am trying to read XML content from the text file. If I remove [xml] then Get-Content is working fine. But need that content in XML format. Can anyone help me to overcome this issue?

This is the content of my file content

<soapenv:Envelope 
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:typ="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/financials/commonModules/shared/financialUtilService/types/" xmlns:fin="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/financials/commonModules/shared/financialUtilService/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
  <typ:uploadFileToUcm>
     <typ:document>
        <fin:Content></fin:Content>
        <fin:FileName>xxxxx.csv</fin:FileName>
        <fin:ContentType>csv</fin:ContentType>
        <fin:DocumentTitle>Journal Import</fin:DocumentTitle>
        <fin:DocumentAuthor>xxxx</fin:DocumentAuthor>
        <fin:DocumentSecurityGroup>FAFusionImportExport</fin:DocumentSecurityGroup>
        <fin:DocumentAccount>fin$/generalLedger$/import$</fin:DocumentAccount>
        <fin:DocumentName>?</fin:DocumentName>
        <fin:DocumentId>?</fin:DocumentId>
     </typ:document>
  </typ:uploadFileToUcm>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Thank you in Advance

The following works here:

[xml] $x = gc infile.xml
$x.Envelope.Body.uploadFileToUcm.document.content='Hello World'
$x.save("$((pwd).path)\outfile.xml")
gc outfile.xml

Output:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:typ="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/financials/commonModules/shared/financialUtilService/types/" xmlns:fin="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/financials/commonModules/shared/financialUtilService/">
  <soapenv:Header />
  <soapenv:Body>
    <typ:uploadFileToUcm>
      <typ:document>

        <fin:DocumentId>?</fin:DocumentId>
      </typ:document>
    </typ:uploadFileToUcm>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

assuming the file is well formatted as xml, I would create a new instance of a xml object and use the load method:

$path='D:\SOAP\PozEncoXML.txt'
$xml = New-Object -TypeName xml
$xml.Load($path)
[System.Xml.Linq.XDocument]::Parse($Xml.OuterXml).ToString()

Output

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:typ="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/financials/commonModules/shared/financialUtilService/types/" xmlns:fin="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/financials/commonModules/shared/financialUtilService/">

        <fin:ContentType>csv</fin:ContentType>
        <fin:DocumentTitle>Journal Import</fin:DocumentTitle>
        <fin:DocumentAuthor>xxxx</fin:DocumentAuthor>

        <fin:DocumentId>?</fin:DocumentId>
      </typ:document>
    </typ:uploadFileToUcm>
  </soapenv:Body>
