Replace elements in an array by element from another array on PowerShell

I need to replace some elements in an array with elements from another array but I dont know the structure on powershell.

For instance I have:

$A = @("t","o","p")
$B = @("u","g","j")

I want t to become u, o to become g.

I guess you need to use a Foreach and create a loop but I'm not sure at all about the syntax.

By the way I'm working on XML data how do you save the changes on the active folder?

If you are looking to replace all the elements in $A to the corresponding ones in $B, why not just do $A = $B.

If there is some sort of condition, use something like this.

for ($i = 0; $i -lt $($B.Count); $i++)
{
    if ("Insert Conditon here")
    {
        $A[$i] = $B[$i]
    }
}
$A

All of this happens in the memory. And this is not XML format. Since you mentioned some folder, use the out-File cmdlet to save to disk. I dont know what else to tell you. Not enough information.
