how to work this out if situation remains same only difference is now cnf file is a XML one instead flat file name=value

Code:
1st_FILE.cnf
<FILE_NAME> [TST_FILE]</FILE_NAME>
<FILE_VALUE> [FILE_NAME]</FILE_VALUE>

o/p should be
Code:
1st_FILE.cnf.new
<FILE_NAME>1st_FILE.txt</FILE_NAME>
<FILE_VALUE>1st_FILE.txt</FILE_VALUE>

Only tag name are going to same across different cnf files only variable names are different.
<FILE_NAME> and <FILE_VALUE>

	      operate in all platform-specific directories (default: operate only in the directory for this platform)

       --silent or -s
