This tip probably seems a bit stupid, but I have always found very useful. If we want to replace a string in a file with another string, we can do it easily using Perl:
perl -p -i -e 's|old_string|new_string|' file.xml
Of course, if we need to apply it to several files we can use a wildcard character.

¿Perl? ¿No hubiese sido más apropiado usar sed?
