Lemme give a shot with explanin Scrutinizer code :

Code:
  {
    for(i=1; i<=NF; i++) { # for all fields in the line separated by field separator (in this case default FS space)
      if($i~/^name="WorkJobNumber"/) # if field matches desired string 
        w=1 # create a variable w with value 1
      if($i~/^value=/ && w) { # if field in the line matches '^value=' and w is defined (regular expression '^name="WorkJobNumber"' has been matched in the same line)
        sub(/".*"/,"\"\"",$i) # substitute, in this case truncate, ..value.. with nothing.
        w=0 # reset w for next line of input
      }
    }
  }
  1 # print everything

NF determines the number of fields per line.
Using that information, we can use i in a for loop with $ to evaluate each field string wise with our conditions. (NF is 4, so i is from 1 to 4, $1 being first field etc.)
awk considers record separator(RS) a line (if not stated otherwise).
So we introduce a w variable to process our conditions per line.

Everything is printed (again per line, if matched print changed if not print as is) as file is processed line by line.

If i missed something feel free to correct me Smilie

Hope that helps
Regards
Peasant.
