Parsing XML dynamic data via awk?

Parsing XML dynamic data via awk?
I am trying to use a line of output in an XML file as input in another new XML file for processing purposes via a shell script. Since I am a newbie though, I'm not sure how to do this since the data is different everytime. I am using this technique with static data right now:
echo -n "Running data test... "
cat datafile.xml | sed -e s/changethis/intothis/ > /tmp/$$.xml
export RESULT=`~/xml /tmp/$$.xml | grep "<Code>SUCCESS</Code>"`
if [ "$RESULT" != "" ]; then { echo passed } else { echo FAILED ; exit } fi
The XML file has the data I need stored between XML tags, so I know I could grep that line and output it to another file, and use that file to refer to for the input in the next test. That file would have < Number >here'sthedata< /Number > in that file. The trick would be to parse the data out, in effect removing the tags, storing that value in a variable, and then using sed to do a replace in the new input file like I am above. I'm just unsure how to go about parsing the data out.
Hope this wasn't confusing

hwloc-assembler
HWLOC-ASSEMBLER(1) hwloc HWLOC-ASSEMBLER(1) NAME
hwloc-assembler - Assemble multiple XML topologies SYNOPSIS
hwloc-assembler [options] output.xml [--name <name1>] input1.xml [--name <name2>] input2.xml ... OPTIONS
-n --name <name> Set <name> in the AssemblerName info attribute of the next input topology root to ease identification within the final global topol- ogy. -f --force Ignore errors while reading input files. -v --verbose Verbose messages. DESCRIPTION
hwloc-assembler combines the input XML topologies and exports the resulting global topologies to a new XML file. All inputs are inserting as children of the global root object. Each input topology root is annotated with info attributes before insertion. AssemblerIndex is set to the index within the list of inputs. AssemblerName is set to the name given with --name if any. hwloc-assembler-remote offers a fron- tend for assembling remote nodes topologies without having to manually gather and transfer each of them. EXAMPLES
To assemble two nodes topologies: $ hwloc-assembler output.xml --name host1 host1.xml --name host2 host2.xml RETURN VALUE
Upon successful execution, hwloc-assembler returns 0. hwloc-assembler will return nonzero if any kind of error occurs, such as (but not limited to) failure to parse the command line. SEE ALSO
