I have to parse a html file (find div with class xyz and use the inner text).

That would be quit simple by using and filtering the WebResponse.AllElements collection. This member seems to be not available in PowerShell Core 6 (on a Mac).

On this platform, I get an BasicHtmlWebResponseObject as the return value of the Invoke-WebRequest $Url call which lags tis property.

I don't want to use any C# code or external libraries. What would be an maintainable way to get the same functionality as on the Windows PowerShell environment?

I found out it is the same in PS Core on Windows. I found this https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/2867 I understand a big difference between Invoke-WebRequest in PS-Windows and PS-Core is that the first uses IE as engine. PS-Core obviously doesn't. – Gert Jan Kraaijeveld Feb 08 '19 at 11:52
