Replace partial contents of file with contents read from other file

Hi,

I am facing issue while reading data from a file in UNIX. my requirement is to compare two files and for the text pattern matching in the 1st file, replace the contents in second file by the contents of first file from start to the end and write the contents to thrid file.
i am able to append the data. but i am seeing junk characters in between. request for help on this.
Please find below sample
File1.txt
Code:
Begin
 
End;
after end1;
after end2;

File2.txt

Code:
Begin
test1;
test2;
test3;
end

my output file should look like
Code:
Begin
test1;
test2;
test3;
end;
after end1;
after end2;

i am able to get the above file but some junk charcters are coming not sure how?

Regards,
Seeki

get_included_files - Returns an array with the names of included or required files

SYNOPSIS
array get_included_files (void ) DESCRIPTION
Gets the names of all files that have been included using include(3), include_once(3), require(3) or require_once(3). RETURN VALUES
Returns an array of the names of all files. The script originally called is considered an "included file," so it will be listed together with the files referenced by include(3) and family. Files that are included or required multiple times only show up once in the returned array. EXAMPLES
Example #1 get_included_files(3) example <?php // This file is abc.php include 'test1.php'; include_once 'test2.php'; require 'test3.php'; require_once 'test4.php'; $included_files = get_included_files(); foreach ($included_files as $filename) { echo "$filename "; } ?> The above example will output: abc.php test1.php test2.php test3.php test4.php NOTES
Note Files included using the auto_prepend_file configuration directive are not included in the returned array. SEE ALSO
