MySQL Replacing lines between two files with awk
Hello Masters,

I have two subtitles file with different language like below

First file :
Code:
1
00:00:41,136 --> 00:00:43,900
[<i># Underdog theme</i>]

2
00:00:55,383 --> 00:00:58,477
<i>[man] Ladies and gentlemen,</i>
<i>this is Simon Barsinister,</i>

3
00:00:58,553 --> 00:01:00,521
<i>the wickedest man in the world.</i>

4
00:01:00,588 --> 00:01:02,021
<i>He was evil and crazy.</i>

5
00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:06,026
<i>Simon and his wacky henchman, Cad,</i>
<i>schemed to rule the universe.</i>

6
00:01:06,094 --> 00:01:08,289
<i>But each time they were foiled by me,</i>

Second file :

Code:
1
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:37,708
*** UNDERDOG ***

2
00:00:48,714 --> 00:00:51,668
Dame in gospodje,
to je Simon Barsinister,

3
00:00:51,745 --> 00:00:53,625    
najzlobnejši človek
na svetu.

4
00:00:53,701 --> 00:00:55,084
Bil je zloben in blazen.

5
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,918
Simon in njegov sluga Cad
sta spletkarila proti univerzi.

6
00:00:58,994 --> 00:01:01,106
Ampak vedno sem jima
načrte prekrižal jaz,

I want to overwrite lines that contains time on first file with the apropriate lines from the second file so the final subtitles file will look like this :

Code:
1
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:37,708
[<i># Underdog theme</i>]

2
00:00:48,714 --> 00:00:51,668
<i>[man] Ladies and gentlemen,</i>
<i>this is Simon Barsinister,</i>

3
00:00:51,745 --> 00:00:53,625    
<i>the wickedest man in the world.</i>

4
00:00:53,701 --> 00:00:55,084
<i>He was evil and crazy.</i>

5
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,918
<i>Simon and his wacky henchman, Cad,</i>
<i>schemed to rule the universe.</i>

6
00:00:58,994 --> 00:01:01,106
<i>But each time they were foiled by me,</i>

bos_getrestricted

BOS_GETRESTRICTED(8)					       AFS Command Reference					      BOS_GETRESTRICTED(8)

NAME

       bos_getrestricted - Displays whether a bos server is restricted or not

SYNOPSIS

       bos getrestricted -server <machine name> [-cell <cell name>]
	   [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos getrestricted command shows whether the server machine named by the -server argument is running in restricted mode.

       Restricted mode limits access to certain bos commands. See bos_setrestricted(8) for details of which commands are disabled by restricting a
       server.

       Use the bos setrestricted command to restrict, or un-restrict, a server.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
	   Indicates the server machine for which to display the restart times. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-
	   qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).

       -cell <cell name>
	   Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).

       -noauth
	   Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see
	   bos(8).

       -localauth
	   Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket
	   to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see
	   bos(8).

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

OUTPUT

       The output consists of a single line

	  Restricted mode is <val>

       Where <val> is "on" or "off"

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       None
