I just need the XML result without having the information before the XML.
How to exclude that? Either by cloc command or if there is a way in PowerShell to get the XML alone then that is also OK at the least?
Run cloc with the parameter --quiet to suppress information messages.
From the man page:
Output Options
[…]
--quiet
Suppress all information messages except for the final report.
