Expected Behavior

When running ConvertFrom-Clixml with a file that contains multiple Clixml objects - the conversion should be able to convert all objects via the pipeline.

$galleryXMLData = Get-Content -Path "C:\xml\all.xml" -Raw
$converted = $galleryXMLData | ConvertFrom-Clixml

Current Behavior

Currently - regardless if -Raw is used or not ConvertFrom-Clixml is only able to convert a file if it contains a singular Clixml object.

Possible Solution

Here is how I am currently working around this:

$galleryData = @()
$galleryXMLData = Get-Content -Path "C:\xml\all.xml" -Raw
$splitup = $galleryXMLData -split '(?<!^)(?=<Objs Version="1.1.0.1" xmlns="http:\/\/schemas.microsoft.com\/powershell\/2004\/04">)'
foreach ($item in $splitup) {
    $galleryData += $item | ConvertFrom-Clixml
}

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download the Sample XML you can use for testing
2. Import the file data using Get-Content
3. Attempt to convert the contents of the data back into PS Object format

Context (Environment)

I have a Clixml file that contains many converted objects. I am attempting to get the contents of the file and convert them back to PowerShell object format. This is working when the file contains one Clixml entry, but not when it contains multiple.

I do currently have a work-around for this which I have shown above.

• Operating System and version as reported by $PSVersionTable.OS: Microsoft Windows 10.0.18362
• PowerShell versions as reported by $PSVersionTable.PSEdition: Core

Detailed Description

Based on the behavior it seems like Get-Content doesn't have a delimter available for Clixml data to properly parse it. Because of the lack of delimter the ConvertFrom-Clixml doesn't have a way to handle multiple objects.

This could be handled by introducing a delimeter of some kind when ConvertTo-Clixml is used. Alternatively, logic could be added to permit ConvertFrom-Clixml to handle multi-object conversions.
