Poweshell script to parse a XML document to get all Leaf level nodes with Node names in CSV

Question

Hi Experts,
I want to write a Powershell script to parse a XML document to get all Leaf level nodes with Node names in CSV
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CATALOG>
   <CD>
      <TITLE>Empire Burlesque</TITLE>
      <ARTIST>Bob Dylan</ARTIST>
      <COUNTRY>USA</COUNTRY>
      <COMPANY>Columbia</COMPANY>
      <PRICE>10.90</PRICE>
      <YEAR>1985</YEAR>
   </CD>
</CATALOG>
Need to display this as
CD_Tiltle, CD_ARTIST, CD_COUNTRY, CD_COMPANY, CD_PRICE, CD_YEAR
Empire Burlesque, Bob Dylan,USA,Columbia,10.90,1985
and so on..
I do not want to hard code the tag names in the script.
current example is 2 level hierarchy XML can be many level till 10 max I assume
in that case the csv file field name will be like P1_P2_P3_NodeName as so on..
Thanks in advance

Thankfully, I have writtenscript for ths same $node_name="";
$node_value="";
$reader = [system.Xml.XmlReader]::Create($xmlfile)
while ($reader.Read())
while ($reader.Read())
if ($reader.IsStartElement())
$node_name += "," + $reader.Name.ToString();
if ($reader.Read())
$node_value += "," + $reader.Value.Trim();
