Script to find line in one file and replace in another
Hey Guys, im looking for a script that will work under OSX.
What i want to do is copy information from one file (Specific LIne) and write it to a certain line in another. To be more specific...

The source could be a .plist file
The pslist file that i want it WRITTEN to looks like this:
I have no idea how to do this, any guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers
