I have a city.txt file with over 1000 lines (one city name per line) , and also a format.xml file with this code block:

        <ss:Row ss:Height ="22">

           <ss:Data ss:Type="String">xx</ss:Data>
        </ss:Cell>
        <ss:Cell>
           <ss:Data ss:Type="String">CITY-FROM-TEXT-FILE-LINE-1</ss:Data>

I need a bash script that will copy format.xml and change CITY-FROM-TEXT-FILE-LINE-1 to a the city name from the list. One code block fro each city.

Can you help me please ?
