how to replace a segment in a XML file?

I have to replace a section in a xml file which can be identified by 
attribute "id".

The section which id equals 100 is what i wanna replace with <xxx 
id="100" name="test">. Could you guys give me some suggestions?

<root>
................
<xxx id="100">
</xxx>
............
<xxx id="200">
</xxx>
................
</root>


Thanks,
-Chad

Thanks for your reply.

I am not allowed to introduce thirdparty libraries even open-source ones

in my project. So I just wanna use regular expression in combination 
with replace/replaceregexp tasks to perform it.
BTW, xmltask works well in my previous testing.

more suggestions?

thanks,

Sure a restrictive handling of putting tools into the game
, means one person/group should be responsible for that
and you have to ask them, makes sense.

But Ant is OpenSource itself, why ain't it allowed to use another
excellent task that extends Ant ?!?!?

we use the xmltask (http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/) to 
work with xml structures within an ant file. And it seems to fit our needs.
Based on what you want to do, this might help.

NOTE: I am in no way affiliated to/with OOPS consultancy. Just think 
that this package/tool is a great addition to ant while working with xml 
structures.

thanks,
