If condition and for loop within sed statement

Hi,

I tried to go through a lot of online material but could not find concrete solution.
My issues is like this :

I've got a input file like this :

Code:

<a>
        <startDate>19700101000000</startDate>
        <endDate>20300101000000</endDate>
</a>
        <startDate>19700101000000</startDate>
        <endDate>20300101000000</endDate>
<b>
        <startDate>19700101000000</startDate>
        <endDate>20300101000000</endDate>
</b>
        <startDate>19700101000000</startDate>
        <endDate>20300101000000</endDate>
<c>
        <startDate>19700101000000</startDate>
        <endDate>20300101000000</endDate>
</c>
<d>
        <startDate>19700101000000</startDate>
        <endDate>20300101000000</endDate>
</d>

Now I want to write a single sed command in such a way that I would give $i as input to sed statement to replace date value of ith occurance.
e.g. if i = 2 , then value of 19700101000000 within <stardate></startdate> within <b></b> is changed to 20200101000000. Similarly if i =1, then startdate within a,if i=3 then from within <c> is changed to 20200101000000.
I tried doing :

Code:

sed '/startDate/{s/19700101000000/20200101000000/;};H' "FILENAME.xml"

how to iterate it to loop through a to d and change values as mentioned above.

Please assist.

IRSEND(1)							   User Commands							 IRSEND(1)

NAME

       irsend - basic LIRC program to send infra-red commands

SYNOPSIS

       irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...]

DESCRIPTION

       Asks the lircd daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such
       as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc.

       DIRECTIVE can be:
	  SEND_ONCE	    - send CODE [CODE ...] once
	  SEND_START	    - start repeating CODE
	  SEND_STOP	    - stop repeating CODE
	  LIST		    - list configured remote items
	  SET_TRANSMITTERS  - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...]
	  SIMULATE	    - simulate IR event

       REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file.

       CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file.

       NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device.

       For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty:

	  LIST	 ""    ""   - list all configured remote names
	  LIST REMOTE  ""   - list all codes of REMOTE
	  LIST REMOTE CODE  - list only CODE of REMOTE

       The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd.

       -h --help
	      display usage summary

       -v --version
	      display version

       -d --device
	      use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd]

       -a --address=host[:port]
	      connect to lircd at this address

       -# --count=n
	      send command n times

EXAMPLES

	  irsend LIST DenonTuner ""
	  irsend SEND_ONCE  DenonTuner PROG-SCAN
	  irsend SEND_ONCE  OnkyoAmpli VOL-UP VOL-UP VOL-UP VOL-UP
	  irsend SEND_START OnkyoAmpli VOL-DOWN ; sleep 3
	  irsend SEND_STOP  OnkyoAmpli VOL-DOWN
	  irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 1
	  irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 1 3 4
	  irsend SIMULATE "0000000000000476 00 OK TECHNISAT_ST3004S"

FILES

       /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
	      Default lircd configuration file.  It should contain all the remotes, their infra-red codes and the corresponding timing	and  wave-
	      form details.

DIAGNOSTICS

       If lircd is not running (or /var/run/lirc/lircd lacks write permissions) irsend aborts with the following diagnostics:
       "irsend: could not connect to socket"
       "irsend: Connection refused" (or "Permission denied").

SEE ALSO

       The documentation for lirc is maintained as html pages. They are located under html/ in the documentation directory.
