The command you have does not have a way to determine which line in the other file to get field2 from in order to insert into temp3. If you have a list of data you want to replace field2 with in temp2 then you can execute a for loop to complete your task.
An alternative would be the file you want field2 from has the same number of lines and is pipe delimited just like file temp2.
Else you need to provide more information about the content of file1 and file2 along with the desired output.

REPLACE(1) General Commands Manual REPLACE(1)NAME
replace - A utility program that is used by msql2mysql, but that has more general applicability as well. replace changes strings in place
in files or on the standard input. Uses a finite state machine to match longer strings first. Can be used to swap strings.
USAGE
replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... -- [files]
or
replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... < fromfile > tofile
SYNOPSIS
replace [-?|-I] [-s] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
replace
-?|-I info

EXTRA INFO
Special characters in from string:
^ Match start of line.
$ Match end of line.
Match space-character, start of line or end of line. For a end the next replace starts locking at the end space-character. A
alone in a string matches only a space-character.
