Actually it is NOT possible with your code and i tried to show you why using a simple example (instead of the complex you brought with you - we will come back to it once you can solve simple tasks).

So, again: suppose you have file containing only one this one line:

Code:
Attribute="old"

How would a sed-script look like to change "old" to "new"? Post the script and we proceed to the next step.

One thing which is not going to happen here is we provide the code to do it. My colleagues might have different takes about how to explain to you what you did wrong, but in this regard we all agree. Nobody here will write you a script (or part of a script) to do your homework for you. Instead we will try to help you do it yourself.

I hope this helps.
