Replacing values in a file based on values in another file
Hi

I have 2 files:-

1. List of files which consists of names of some output files.
2. A delimited file; delimted by "|"

I want to replace the value of the $23 (23rd column) in the delimited file with name in the first file. It is always position to position. Meaning first row of the first file to replace the $23 in the first row of second file and so on. Both the files will have equal number of lines.

e.g.

Code:
File 1:
=======
AAABBBCC_HHGGTT_34_20100701113142_001_D_00_0.pdf
11122233_HHGGTT_34_20100701113142_001_D_00_0.pdf
55566677_HHGGTT_34_20100701113142_001_D_00_0.pdf
88899900_HHGGTT_34_20100701113142_001_D_00_0.pdf

File 2:
=======
