How to use Parameter to read element in XML file using PowerShell?

Question

I want to read element in XML file using parameters. I tried this code, I can print the XML file, but I can't get the element. But I tried to get the element without using parameters and It works.

Param(
  [parameter(mandatory=$true)][string]$XML
)

$Feature= Get-Content $XML
$Feature
$Read_XML = $Feature.DocumentElement.InnerText
$Read_XML

I run the script from cmd :

$PowerShell.exe getxml.ps1 -XML <path xml file>

It works perfectly. Thanks @OcasoProtal

You need to cast $Feature to xml:

[xml]$Feature= Get-Content $XML
