There is no file. And show some effort and the code with which you had problems — guiwhatsthat, Oct 03 '17 at 11:26
@guiwhatsthat It wasn't properly formatted as `code` and then wasn't shown at all because it is and rendered as nothing. — PerlDuck, Oct 03 '17 at 11:27
Read the xml file with get-content and search for the part which you want to change with xpath — guiwhatsthat, Oct 03 '17 at 11:30
Please can you write the code i am totally new to power shell — krishna, Oct 03 '17 at 11:31
Thats not how Stackoverflow works. This a simple task. Google it and you will find a solution — guiwhatsthat, Oct 03 '17 at 11:34
@krishna, use perl or a batch file instead if you don't know or are new to powershell. Why did you ask for powershell help if you don't know it? — Compo, Oct 03 '17 at 11:38
Thanks, I searched for the solution but no luck, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11344179/how-to-get-value-from-xml-by-powershell this is similler but not work for me. — krishna, Oct 03 '17 at 11:47
@SteveFest Yes, it rather means processing (a lot of) commands, possibly on a set of files. But who said any different? — PerlDuck, Oct 03 '17 at 12:45
You're kinda wrong. Batch file is a kind of Windows script. It does help to process multiple files, but unrelated to the scenario — , Oct 03 '17 at 12:45

A batch file which uses powershell may cover two of your tagged options:

@For /F %%A In ('Powershell -C "[xml]$fC=Get-Content 'AndroidManifest.xml';"^
 "$fC.manifest.versionName"') Do @Set "versionName=%%A"
@Echo %versionName%
@Pause

Please note, that because you've made absolutely no attempt to create any code, no tutoring will be entered into with reference to the above.
