Which is exactly what you requested.

Then, the xml will be copied somewhere else and the next value should be put there.

Which is done - for each file2 entry, a new file is created in the cwd (as you did not specify anything else although requested to do by Don Cragun, and still don't)

And so on; the xml will be overwritten everytime.

Overwritten?

I'm sorry if I am not very clear. English is not my first language. I'll try again to explain. In my xml i want to replace the 7.. value. The new value comes from file2. Then I will copy the new Update.xml file to a different folder (let's say /home/XML). 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?
