        1What's the logic behind 1/2, 4, 5, 7/8? You chose them randomly? If you want to script it, it implies you want to automate some larger job, but you haven't given me a feel for what the true problem is.cryptarch– cryptarch2021-02-10 07:13:45 +00:00Commented Feb 10, 2021 at 7:13

        it is a bit complex to explain why I selected those, let's just say it random because I will have another pair of files and there the line numbers I will need to replace it is going to be different so I need a code where you input the line numbers that you want to substitute in the first file and the line numbers of the second filePaolo Lorenzini– Paolo Lorenzini2021-02-10 07:19:36 +00:00Commented Feb 10, 2021 at 7:19

        so I just modify the same code where I input different values of line numbers every timePaolo Lorenzini– Paolo Lorenzini2021-02-10 07:20:59 +00:00Commented Feb 10, 2021 at 7:20

        it would be good to have also two different files where the values of the line numbers are stored perhapsPaolo Lorenzini– Paolo Lorenzini2021-02-10 07:56:19 +00:00Commented Feb 10, 2021 at 7:56

        How to Format
    
    - 
                create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
                ```
 like so
 ```
- 
                add language identifier to highlight code
                ```python
 def function(foo):
 print(foo)
 ```
- put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes `like _so_`
- quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible)
                <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
            How to Tag
        
        A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
