function Import-PSFClixml { <# .SYNOPSIS Imports objects serialized using Export-Clixml or Export-PSFClixml. .DESCRIPTION Imports objects serialized using Export-Clixml or Export-PSFClixml. It can handle compressed and non-compressed exports. .PARAMETER Path Path to the files to import. .PARAMETER Encoding Text-based files might be stored with any arbitrary encoding chosen. By default, this function assumes UTF8 encoding (the default export encoding for Export-PSFClixml). .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Import-PSFClixml -Path '.\object.xml' Imports the objects serialized to object.xml in the current folder. #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 0, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [Alias('FullName')] [string[]] $Path, [System.Text.Encoding] $Encoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8 ) begin { Write-PSFMessage -Level InternalComment -Message "Bound parameters: $($PSBoundParameters.Keys -join ", ")" -Tag 'debug', 'start', 'param' } process { try { $resolvedPath = Resolve-PSFPath -Path $Path -Provider FileSystem } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -Message "Failed to resolve path." -ErrorRecord $_ -EnableException $true -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -Target $Path } foreach ($pathItem in $resolvedPath) { if ((Get-Item $pathItem).PSIsContainer) { Stop-PSFFunction -Message "$pathItem is not a file" -EnableException $true -Target $pathItem } Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose -Message "Processing $($pathItem)" -Target $pathItem [byte[]]$bytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($pathItem) try { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::FromByteCompressed($bytes) } catch { [string]$string = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllText($pathItem, $Encoding) try { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::FromString($string) } catch { try { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::FromStringCompressed($string) } catch { try { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::FromByte($bytes) } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -Message "Failed to convert input object" -EnableException $true -Target $pathItem -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet } } } } } } end { } } |
