Replace string in XML file with awk/sed with string from another

Sorry for the long/weird title but I'm stuck on a problem I have. I have this XML file:

Code:
</member>
     <member>
      <name>TransactionID</name>
      <value><string>123456789123456</string></value>
     </member>
     <member>
      <name>Number</name>
      <value><string>765101293</string></value>
     </member>

There, I have to replace the "765101293" with another value from another file, file2:

Code:
765003448
765885388
764034143
784478101
762568592
769765134
767200702
769550613
784914007
762333840

So, the XML file will change at each new string from file2. I am not sure how to do this. I am thinking of first processing file2 with awk and then a pipe feeding into sed:

Code:
#! /bin/bash -f

var=`awk -F,"\n" '{print $0}' "$1"`
sed -i "/7[0-9]{8}/c\$var/" "$2"

However, this does nothing. Could anyone help me out?
