Search and Replace

I am trying to search and replace using two different files with strict search rules.
One file contain some data and the other file contain some numbers as shown below.
DataFile.txt
HTML Code:
>L1_T1
text data...
text data..
>L1_T1
text data...
text data..
>L1_T1
text data...
text data..
.....
.....
>L1_T2
text data...
text data..
>L1_T2
text data...
text data..
...
... upto

>L7_T8
text data...
text data..
>L7_T8
text data...
text data..
data header ranges from L1_T1 .. L1_T8 .. upto L7_T8 (56 headers altogether)

NumberFile.txt
HTML Code:
1
3
4
7
8
75
86
...
... 
4025
4030
4032
I want to replace the headers(L*_T*) of DataFile using the numbers from the NumberFile. However, the condition is each header has a particular range to take the numbers and one number can't be used twice. For Example:
L1_T1 can take those available numbers within the range 1 - 72
L1_T2 can take those available numbers within the range 73 - 144
L1_T3 can take those available numbers within the range 144 - 216
....
L1_T8 can take those available numbers within the range 505 - 576
....
...
L7_T8 can take those available numbers within the range 3961 - 4032
(Increment of 72 for each increasing Header)

Example Output for the above data can be:

HTML Code:
>1
text data...
text data..
>3
text data...
text data..
>7
text data...
text data..
.....
.....
>75
text data...
text data..
>86
text data...
text data..
...
... 

>4030
text data...
text data..
>4032
text data...
text data..
Thanks for any help.

APROPOS(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						APROPOS(1)

NAME
apropos -- search the complete content of all man pages SYNOPSIS
apropos [-123456789Ccp] [-n Number of results] [-S machine] [-s section] query DESCRIPTION
The apropos utility performs a full text search over the complete content of all man pages. It uses the FTS engine of Sqlite to perform the search. The database is created with the help of makemandb(8) utility. This implementation of the apropos utility is more sophisticated than the classical version of apropos. Like modern search applications, it uses advanced techniques like stemming and term weighting to rank the matching results in decreasing order of relevance. By default apropos will only display the top 10 matches in the output. Quotes are optional for specifying multiword queries. It supports the following options: -1 Search only within section 1 manual pages. -2 Search only within section 2 manual pages. -3 Search only within section 3 manual pages. -4 Search only within section 4 manual pages. -5 Search only within section 5 manual pages. -6 Search only within section 6 manual pages. -7 Search only within section 7 manual pages. -8 Search only within section 8 manual pages. -9 Search only within section 9 manual pages. -C Do not show the context of the match. -c Do show the context of the match (default). -n Output up to the specified number of search results. The default limit is 10. -p Display all matching results and pipe them through a pager (defaulting to more(1)). -S machine Limit the search to the pages for the specified machine architecture. By default pages for all architectures are shown in the search results. -s section Restrict the search to the specified section of the manual. By default, pages from all section are shown. This option is for back- wards compatibility with the classic version of apropos, using it is equivalent to using the [123456789] options directly. FILES
/var/db/man.db The Sqlite FTS database which contains an index of the manual pages. SEE ALSO
man(1), whatis(1), makemandb(8) HISTORY
The apropos command appeared in 3.0BSD. It was rewritten in NetBSD 6.0 to support full text search using Sqlite. AUTHORS
