i'd do it with perl:

Code:
perl -i -ne's/(ip=.+)(ip=.+?,)/$1ip=new.ip.address,/;print'

xen-list-images

XEN-LIST-IMAGES(8)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide					XEN-LIST-IMAGES(8)

NAME

       xen-list-images - List all the created and configured Xen images.

SYNOPSIS

	 xen-list-image [options]

	 Help Options:
	  --help     Show this scripts help information.
	  --manual   Read this scripts manual.
	  --version  Show the version number and exit.

	 Testing options:
	  --test     Specify an alternate Xen configuration directory.

OPTIONS

       --help Show the scripts help information.
       --manual Read the manual.
       --test This flag causes the script to load the Xen configuration files from a different directory than the default of /etc/xen.
       --version Show the version number and exit.

DESCRIPTION

	 xen-list-images is a simple script which will display all the
	Xen images which have been created.

	 This works by iterating over all files matching the pattern
	/etc/xen/*.cfg which is what the xen-create-image script would
	create.

	 For each instance which has been created we'll display the name,
	and then either the IP address configured, or "DHCP" to denote
	a dynamic host.

TODO

	 It should be possible to determine the disk(s) used by the images,
	and then display their sizes.
