Wrench Script Search replace - complicated

I have a text file for which i need a script which does some fancy search and replace.
Basically i want to loop through each line, if i find an occurance of certain string format then i want to carry on search on replace another line, once i replaced this line i will contine to search for the previous string format once i find it i will again replace the next line with a specific format.
Eg

CODE A_123
TEXT
TEXT
VAL 1,2,3
TEXT
CODE A_321
TEXT
TEXT
VAL 1,2,3XT
In this example i want to say find CODE A*, if i find this look for VAL* and replace with X. Continue doing this for the whole file
