I think you need an XML parser or can use Perl, which still relies on a compiled XML parser. I think you can't use a shell script to parse XML. I think XML parser would be great in order to extra xml data.

Not sure about the following code, but hope so that it might work out for you.

sed -n -e "/<isbn>/s/<isbn>\([0-9]*\)<\/isbn>/\1/p" file.xml
