data handling with an XML format

[] to get objects representing the commands in the history and export them to the History.xml file

PS> get-history
| export-clixml 'history.xml'

[] to show content of History.xml file using default web browser (if above done)

PS> .\history.xml

[] to import commands in the History.xml file and show them on the screen

PS> import-clixml 'history.xml'

[] to import commands in the History.xml file and add them to the current session history

PS> import-clixml 'history.xml'
| add-history -passthru

` -passthru ` parameter shows the current session history on the screen, and won't store them into the History.xml file. The 'Id' is changing.

[] to import data from a Log file and store them into Xmlfile1.xml

PS> get-content .\Dec16-1205hr.PS2CTP2.log
| export-clixml xmlfile1.xml

or,

PS> get-content .\Dec16-1205hr.PS2CTP2.log
| ConvertTo-html
| Out-File htmfile1.htm

This is useful to know what is going on in "Action start..." and "Action ended..." in its .Log (20KB) file, by looking at Section tag in its .XML (510KB) file; .Htm (83KB) file shows garbage indeed.
