Output hash-table without @{var=...} when parsing .xml files in Powershell -

i'm new powershell, , trying parse .xml file using code below:

[xml] $alloc_macro = get-content ".\allocation_macro.xml" $newlist = @() foreach ($layer1 in $alloc_macro.dmob.module.macro.block[4].block) {     $condition = ($layer1 | select condition)     foreach ($layer2 in $layer1.for)     {         $var = ($layer2 | select var)         $in = ($layer2 | select in)         $newlist += new-object -typename psobject -property @{ condition = $condition; var = $var; in = $in }     } } $newlist 

here's result:

condition                                             var                                                  in ---------                                             ---                                                  -- @{condition=@[allocationflag]}                        @{var=allocationnumber}                              @{in=*[eq](##personalnonpersonal##,"personal",@[a... @{condition=*[not](@[allocationflag])} 

my question is, can this:

condition                                             var                                                  in ---------                                             ---                                                  -- @[allocationflag]                                     allocationnumber                              *[eq](##personalnonpersonal##,"personal",@[a... *[not](@[allocationflag]) 

thanks!

change this

$condition = ($layer1 | select condition) 

to this

$condition = ($layer1 | select -expand condition)
