I need a simple script that does very easy line merging. Here's how I need it to work:

The script needs to be able to let the user specify a file 1 and file 2. Most of these will be .txt files for merging. File 1 is the file that gets lines of text merged into it. For file 2, the user specifies which lines of code to merge into file 1. For the merging, it needs to ADD A LINE of the text from file 2, not overwrite the entire line. So, basically, for every line of text specified for merge from file 2, it adds that many MORE lines to file 1. I would also like to be able to specify which lines in file 1 I would like the lines from file 2 to be inserted in to.

Please give me your best estimates of time for this job. This should not be a long job to complete!
