title: Escape character to escape "." when Editing an XML file with powershell
body: <pre><code>                      &lt;Something&gt;
                            &lt;Somethings.few&gt;
                              &lt;thing  stuff1="XX"  stuff2= "XXX"&gt;
                                 &lt;thing2&gt;
                                   &lt;stuff value="YY"&gt;
                                  &lt;/thing2&gt;
                              &lt;/thing&gt;
                            &lt;/Somethings.few&gt;
                        &lt;/Something&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to change the value of stuff1 using powershell, but the problem is with Somethings.few</p>
  
  <pre><code>$xmlFile = [xml](gc file.xml)
  $xmlFile.Something.Somethings.few.thing.stuff1="ZZ"   
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>does not work for me</p>
