how to replace a text inside a file based on a xml key
<c-param>
<param-name>Number</param-name>
<param-value>22</param-value>
<description>my house number</description>
</c-param>
<c-param>
<param-name>Address</param-name>
<param-value>XYZ</param-value>
<description>my house Address</description>
</c-param>

I have a file and inside that there are lines as above. only unique key is the param-name ie. Number
Now i need to change the value of this param ie need to increase by 1 everytime whenever i run my script.

I am not able to find a direct way. can anyone tell me what is the best way.

1) there are multiple <c-param> in a file
2) there are <param-name> in a file but "Number" is different for each tab eg Number in one and Address in other
3) Value 22 can be some where else too so i need to update specifically related to Number only

Please let me know what is the best way
