Okay, I decided to make it a bit simpler, and with bash scripting it seems shorter. I have this so far:
The #editing configs part is the only part left. So this is what I need to get this script to do now:
The large file is in this format:
1st config file:
2nd config:
I need the instances where it says 'WORD1' in both config files to be edited and replaced with the line I choose from the large file list. So say I want the word 'candy' to be placed where 'WORD1' is, I would run the script with the number '3' because 'candy' is the 3rd word in the list. But if I run the script again though (in a new terminal window), I have to make sure that 'candy' is replaced by the next word/line I choose because I can't have it hanging around from my previous use of the script.

setuid
SETUID(1) General Commands Manual SETUID(1)NAME
setuid - run a command with a different uid.
SYNOPSIS
setuid username|uid command [ args ]
DESCRIPTION
Setuid changes user id, then executes the specified command. Unlike some versions of su(1), this program doesn't ever ask for a password
when executed with effective uid=root. This program doesn't change the environment; it only changes the uid and then uses execvp() to find
the command in the path, and execute it. (If the command is a script, execvp() passes the command name to /bin/sh for processing.)
For example,
setuid some_user $SHELL
can be used to start a shell running as another user.
Setuid is useful inside scripts that are being run by a setuid-root user -- such as a script invoked with super, so that the script can
execute some commands using the uid of the original user, instead of root. This allows unsafe commands (such as editors and pagers) to be
used in a non-root mode inside a super script. For example, an operator with permission to modify a certain protected_file could use a
super command that simply does:
cp protected_file temp_file
setuid $ORIG_USER ${EDITOR:-/bin/vi} temp_file
cp temp_file protected_file
(Note: don't use this example directly. If the temp_file can somehow be replaced by another user, as might be the case if it's kept in a
temporary directory, there will be a race condition in the time between editing the temporary file and copying it back to the protected
file.)
