There are PERL tutorials on the web that are a fine use of your time, and I am told it is the most versatile tool of all, being midway between c/C++/JAVA and shell/sed/awk. Learning it is a big task for a newcomer to computers, but learning your first language and O/S language interface is a big task regardless.
A tool like sed or sed-like-perl can copy the file, capturing lines (sed h, d) it finds by context (sed /pattern/ and N) and moving them (sed G) to new places it finds by context.

However, the only really robust way to adjust an XML file is to use or create an XML-aware tool. PERL/C++/JAVA have XML parsers that will put the document in memory as a container object (DOM). Once there, you can adjust the content and write a new XML file.

mkdoc::xml::decode
MKDoc::XML::Decode(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation MKDoc::XML::Decode(3pm)
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' Baloon");
SUMMARY
MKDoc::XML::Decode is a very simple module with pluggable entity decoding mechanism. At the moment there are three modules:
xml - Decodes ' " > < and & xhtml - Decodes XHTML entities such as é numeric - Decodes numeric entities
such as A
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.
