For the next line in file2, I will want to again modify UpdateOffer1.xml (this is what i meant by overwritten...) same as before (except that instead of 765101293, the value to be replaced will be 765003448). After the modification, I will again copy Update.xml to the folder. This needs to be done for all line in file2.
The script RudiC gave you does exactly what you want except that instead of creating file /home/XML/file1 and file2, it will create files named (for your sample data):
Code:
file_765003448
file_765885388
file_764034143
file_784478101
file_762568592
file_769765134
file_767200702
file_769550613
file_784914007
file_762333840

Didn't his script create these files for you?

NAME

       scrollkeeper-devel, scrollkeeper-extract, scrollkeeper-gen-seriesid, scrollkeeper-preinstall - utilities for working with OMF documents and
       the scrollkeeper database

SYNOPSIS

       scrollkeeper-extract file stylesheet output [stylesheet output...]

       scrollkeeper-gen-seriesid

       scrollkeeper-preinstall docfile omf-file1 omf-file2

DESCRIPTION

       scrollkeeper-extract is used internally by scrollkeeper to convert DocBook/SGML files to Docbook/XML files if necessary,  and  to  apply  a
       number of transformations to the XML file to extract information from the XML file.

       scrollkeeper-gen-seriesid generates a globally unique series ID for an OMF file.

       scrollkeeper-preinstall	reads  omf_file1,  changes the URL attribute of the identifier tag to doc_file and writes the output to omf_file2.
       scrollkeeper-preinstall can be used during the document installation process to point OMF files to  the	correct  location  on  the  target
       machine before registration in the scrollkeeper database.

OPTIONS

       None.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       docfile	       Specifies the file path to the document that omf-file1 describes.

       file	       Specifies the XML file that is to be used as input for XSLT transformations.

       omf-file1       Specifies the OMF file that contains metadata for docfile.

       omf-file2       Specifies  the  file  created  by  scrollkeeper-preinstall,  which  contains the same data as omf-file1 except that the URL
		       attribute of the identifier tag is changed to docfile.

       output	       Specifies the file that contains the result when the preceding stylesheet has been applied to file.

       stylesheet      Specifies an XSLT transformation to apply.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Creating a New scrollkeeper Series ID

       example% scrollkeeper-gen-seriesid
