Help with find and replace in XML

Hello Guys,

I have this requirement with several hundred files.

I have this first set of xml's files with the following tags spread across the file

FILE in SET A

<Name>Lion</Name>
<Age>15</Age>
.....
....
...

<Date>2009-12-12</Date>

Now i have this another set of files which also have the same tags again randomly spread across in the file.

FILE SET B


<Name>xxxx</Name>
......
......

<Age>yyy</Age>
.....
....


<Date>zzzz</Date>

My requirement is that i have around 6 matching tags in both the files.I need replace the data between those matching the tags in SET B with that of SET A.

I am currently thinking in 2 lines:

1. Either replacing the tags completely.
2. Replacing only data within the matching tags.

Can anyone please suggest me how to implement this?

Cheers!!
