If lines are not in same order i get wrong output because search is not based on field 2 ( ie /home/USER/Desktop , /home/USER/Exe , /home/USER/OP1 etc )

For example if file2 contains the following:
Code:
<path source="/home/USER/Desktop" value="/home/USER/XYZ/Desktop">
    <key value="customer/priority"/>
    <scm tool="toolname/revision"/>
  </path>

<path source="/home/USER/Exe" value="/home/USER/XYZ/ABC/Exe">
    <key value="customer/priority4"/>
    <scm tool="toolname/revision"/>
  </path>

<path source="/home/USER/OP1" value="/home/USER/XYZ/ABC/OP1">
    <key value="customer/priority2"/>
    <scm tool="toolname/revision"/>
  </path>

I get wrong output as :
Code:
<type source="/home/USER/Desktop" Dest="/home/USER/DIR1/Desktop" URL="ref/img/customer/priority"/>
<type source="/home/USER/OP1" URL="ref/img/customer/priority4"/> 
<type source="/home/USER/Exe" Dest="/home/USER/DIR1/Exe" URL="ref/img/customer/priority2"/>

ok i modified some Smilie
Code:
# awk 'NR==FNR{if($0~/path source/){x=gensub(".*\\/(.*)\">","\\1",$0);getline;split($0,a,"=");sub("^\"","",a[2]);s[x]=a[2]}}
NR!=FNR{for(x in s)if($0~x)sub("URL=.*","URL="xx s[x],$0);print}' xx="\"ref/img/" file2 file1
<type source="/home/USER/Desktop" Dest="/home/USER/DIR1/Desktop" URL="ref/img/customer/priority"/>
<type source="/home/USER/OP1" URL="ref/img/customer/priority2"/>
<type source="/home/USER/Exe" Dest="/home/USER/DIR1/Exe" URL="ref/img/customer/priority4"/>
