Error Need help comparing two files and deleting some things in those files!

So I have two files:

File1
Code:
pictures.txt 1.1 1.3
dance.txt 1.2 1.4
treehouse.txt 1.3 1.5

File2
Code:
pictures.txt 1.5 ref2313 1.4 ref2345 1.3 ref5432 1.2 ref4244
dance.txt 1.6 ref2342 1.5 ref2352 1.4 ref0695 1.3 ref5738 1.2 ref4948 1.1
treehouse.txt 1.6 ref8573 1.5 ref3284 1.4 ref5838 1.3 ref4738 1.2 ref4573 1.1


The numbers (i.e. 1.1 1.4) are the file version numbers, with the reference numbers coming after them (version 1.1 has no reference number). What I want is the file and the version number to be printed into a file between the two version numbers in shown in file1. So the output should be:

Code:
pictures.txt 1.3 ref5432 1.2 ref4244 1.1
dance.txt 1.4 ref0695 1.3 ref5738 1.2 ref4948
treehouse.txt 1.5 ref3284 1.4 ref5838 1.3 ref4738

I realise this is a bit complicated, so any help will be much appreciated.
