| Description: |
| I would like to replace each line of a source file from lines in a target file based on the first word. If the target file does not contain a line starting with a word found in source file then source file line remains. |
| Input Sample: |
| Source file: The man ran up the hill. He was out of breath at the top. He was also very thirsty. "I need a drink of water" he said. Then he turned around and ran back down again. Unfortunately, he tripped and broke his leg. Target file: So you think you can win the competition? He looked like he was a strong swimmer. The first prize was a trip to the world finals. He took a deep breath. "I can do it." Then he smiled. "Good for you." |
| Output Sample: |
| Output file: The first prize was a trip to the world finals. He took a deep breath. He looked like he was a strong swimmer. "I can do it." Then he smiled. Unfortunately, he tripped and broke his leg. |
