Hi unix lovers,
I am trying to sort this issue for the past one week and i am not able to do.
I have already explained my problem to you guys.
This is a edited version of the post for being more explanatory.

The problem is I have to write a shell script in which i execute 2 commands,both of them stored in two different files.

The contents of the first file say file1.txt is as below
Code:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ string | emailid | 2012-06-21 05:00:01 +0530 (Thu, 21 Jun 2012) | 1 line Changed paths: M /blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah some more string, blah blah blah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ string | emailid | 2012-06-21 22:27:37 +0530 (Thu, 21 Jun 2012) | 1 line Changed paths: M /blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah some more string, blah blah blah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ string | emailid | 2012-06-21 22:45:06 +0530 (Thu, 21 Jun 2012) | 1 line Changed paths: M /blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah some more string, blah blah blah  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The contents of file1.txt are in a single line in a file

The contents of the 2nd file say file2.txt is as shown below,
Code:
link1
link2
link3

The contents of file2.txt are line by line.

Now the issue is i need to place the contents of the file2.txt at a specific location of file1.txt and the output should be as shown below say file3.txt
Code:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ string | emailid | 2012-06-21 05:00:01 +0530 (Thu, 21 Jun 2012) | 1 line Changed paths: M /blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah
link1
 some more string, blah blah blah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ string | emailid | 2012-06-21 22:27:37 +0530 (Thu, 21 Jun 2012) | 1 line Changed paths: M /blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah 
link2
some more string, blah blah blah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ string | emailid | 2012-06-21 22:45:06 +0530 (Thu, 21 Jun 2012) | 1 line Changed paths: M /blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah 
link3
some more string, blah blah blah  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
