To get the output you said you want, we can't follow the directions you gave. Instead we have to replace every occurrence of last night and the character following that (or maybe the <period> following that, or maybe the character following that if the matched string does not appear at the end of an input line) with last night followed by a <space> followed by the contents of anotherfile.txt. Guessing that you meant the 1st of the three possibilities listed above, you could try:
which produces the output you said you want with the two sample input files you provided.
As always, if you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
