This works, but only for765101293; I've tried with multiple types of regex, but none have worked . I'll give more details about what I want it to do. I want to replace the string "76.." from this block
Code:
<name>subscriberNumber</name> <value><string>765101293</string></value>

with values from file2. Then, the xml will be copied somewhere else and the next value should be put there. For example, this will be the first iteration:
Code:
<name>subscriberNumber</name> <value><string>765003448</string></value>

; the second one:
Code:
<name>subscriberNumber</name> <value><string>765885388</string></value>

And so on; the xml will be overwritten everytime.

Also, here you can see the full xml file.

Code:
<methodCall>
 <methodName>UpdateOffer</methodName>
 <params>
  <param>
   <value>
    <struct>
     <member>
      <name>offerID</name>
      <value><i4>19</i4></value>
