The problem is that the sed does not work with the sample data (even after changing date to Date). It replaces the pattern between the first and last double quote character, such that the other two fields disappear!

Code:
echo '<Date="19991212" Node1="50" Groups="20">' |sed 's/Date=\".*\"/Date=\"20120711\"/g'
<Date="20120711">

echo '<Date="" Node1="50" Groups="20">' |sed 's/Date=\".*\"/Date=\">
<Date="20120711">
