grep/sed/awk a value between 2 "

I have a log file where I'm trying to grep/awk/sed the value between the set of quotes following VALUE="somevalue" in somefile and > it to someotherfile, so take a line like
Code:
<NODE NAME="OS Version" VALUE="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600) (5.1.2600)" TR="N=4102" />

and output

Microsoft Windows XP...

so I'm trying to read in each line in the file like this
Code:
c=$(cat somefile)
    for i in $c
    do
        grep someregex > someotherfile
    done

but I'm stuck there.

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
