• Use member-access enumeration to get all .BaseName values from the output objects emitted by Get-ChildItem .

  • As an aside: For directories, .BaseName is - perhaps surprisingly - the same as .Name - only for files is an extension, if present, removed.

• Use ForEach-Object to embed each base name in (the string representation of) an XML element using an expandable (double-quoted) string ( "..." ) :

(Get-ChildItem -Directory c:\test).BaseName |
  ForEach-Object { "<object>$_</object>" }
