The error you got is just because the plan is larger than the 4000 characters that are being returned. If you use "-MaxCharLength 9999999" this should work better.

Make sure the file contains the right combinations of brackets, braces and parentheses, and has no extra characters in there.

thanks for the script, however e.g. trying to get the plan for AdventureWorks2012.dbo.uspGetBillOfMaterials I get
Error: "Unexpected end of file has occurre
d. The following elements are not closed: OutputList, RelOp, QueryPlan, StmtSimple, Statements, Stor
edProc, StmtSimple, Statements, Batch, BatchSequence, ShowPlanXML. Line 1, position 4001."
At D:\Projekte\Wincasa\QVReporting_home\CreateExecutionPlan.ps1:6 char:109
+ { return ([xml] (invoke-sqlcmd -Server $server -Database $db -Query "set showplan_xml on;ngon$qu
ery").Item <<<< ( 0)) }
   + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], RuntimeException
   + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RuntimeException
any idea?
Thanks
