If you replace the whole line this should be suffice:

Code:
sed 's#<name>.*#<name>SOMETHING</name>#' file.xml

NAME
MKDoc::XML::Decode - Expands XML entities SYNOPSIS
use MKDoc::XML::Decode; my $decode = new MKDoc::XML::Decode qw/xml xhtml numeric/; # $xml is now "Chris' Baloon" my $xml = MKDoc::XML::Decode->process ("Chris&apos; Baloon"); SUMMARY
MKDoc::XML::Decode is a very simple module with pluggable entity decoding mechanism. At the moment there are three modules: xml - Decodes &apos; &quot; &gt; &lt; and &amp; xhtml - Decodes XHTML entities such as &eacute; numeric - Decodes numeric entities such as &#65; That's it. This module and its counterpart MKDoc::XML::Encode are used by MKDoc::XML::Dumper to XML-encode and XML-decode litterals. API
my $decode_object = new MKDoc::XML::Decode (@modules); Constructs a new decode object using the modules specified in @modules. my $decoded = $decode_object->decode ($stuff); Decodes $stuff and returns it into $decoded. Any entity which is not recognized will be returned as is but will trigger a warning. AUTHOR
