How can I change file value based on condition

Hi, Gurus,
I got a problem to resolve following issue:
I have one file file1as following:
Code:
[title1]
start_dt=2010-01-01 12:00:02
[title2]
start_dt=2011-01-01 09:00:02
[title3]
start_dt=2009-01-01 11:00:02

I have another file file2 as following:
Code:
title1, 2010-01-03 10:00:02
title2, 2011-01-04 11:00:02
title3, 2009-02-04 13:00:02

I need replace file1's start_dt value with file2's value based on title value. final file should like following:
Code:
[title1]
start_dt=2010-01-03 10:00:02
[title2]
start_dt=2011-01-04 11:00:02
[title3]
start_dt=2009-02-04 13:00:02

Smilie

Could any one among you may able to help please ?

Thanks in advance
