First thanks for the quick responses; I have a csv file with hosts in on column and their IP address in the second. CSV format: 

FTC-R17N6340-C04-1;10.1.70.1
FTC-R17N6340-C04-2,10.1.70.2
FTC-R17N6340-C04-3,10.1.70.3

My XML template has two instances of hostname that need to be replaced with the first collumn and one instance of ILO being replaced by the IP address. XML: 
   <host>
            <host>hostname</host>
            <name>hostname</name>
            <description/>
            <proxy/>
            <status>0</status>
            <ipmi_authtype>-1</ipmi_authtype>
            <ipmi_privilege>2</ipmi_privilege>
            <ipmi_username/>
            <ipmi_password/>
            <tls_connect>1</tls_connect>
            <tls_accept>1</tls_accept>
            <tls_issuer/>
            <tls_subject/>
            <tls_psk_identity/>
            <tls_psk/>
            <templates/>
            <groups>
                <group>
                    <name>C7000 Chassis</name>
                </group>
            </groups>
            <interfaces>
                <interface>
                    <default>1</default>
                    <type>1</type>
                    <useip>1</useip>
                    <ip>ILO</ip>
                    <dns/>
                    <port>10050</port>

After the text is replaced I want the template with the new host information appended to the XML file but leaving the template intact ready for the second line.
