The example you posted are very long and the lines does not correspond between input file, replacement file , and output file (it looks as if they were screwed).
I mean i don't see the logic that should be followed.

I think you should post a shorter an cleaner example of infile, insert file and output expected so we could

1) quickly understand the logic of formatting
2) provide you a more accurate answer
