Replace a string in a xml file
Hello,

I have below xml file, I want to find line default-value and replace the string within quotes followed by default-value "moni/Websphere/". Replace moni/Websphere/ with monitor/AMQ/

Code:
<monitor>
        <name>WebsphereMqMonitor</name>
        <type>managed</type>
<argument name="config-file" is-required="false" default-value="moni/Websphere"/>
                </java-task>
        </monitor-run-task>
</monitor>

What have you tried to solve this problem?

What operating system are you using?

What shell are you using?

Code:
bash-3.2$ sed "s/default-value.*/default-value=\"monitor\/AMQ\"\/>/" t.txt
<monitor>
        <name>WebsphereMqMonitor</name>
        <type>managed</type>
<argument name="config-file" is-required="false" default-value="monitor/AMQ"/>
                </java-task>
        </monitor-run-task>
</monitor>

Above will replace every occurrence of a default value. Make it a bit more specific:
Code:
sed "/default-value/ s/moni\/Websphere/monitor\/AMQ/" file
