Thanks for your suggestions! I also got a solution from a friend of mine:

(Unix commands)

File with IP addresses: IP.txt (all files in the same folder)

1. vi gen.sh
2. paste:

#!/bin/sh

while read IP; do
cat << EOF
<rule>
<type>block</type>
<interface>wan</interface>
<protocol>tcp</protocol>
<source>
<address>${IP}</address>
</source>
<destination>
<any/>
</destination>
<descr>tor</descr>
</rule>

EOF

3 write and quit. chmod 755 gen.sh
4. cat IP.txt | ./gen.sh > RULES.xml
