Search and replace script

Hello, I need to find multiple local files with a specific string in their filenames, copy their pahts to a text file and replace the first two parts with an IP (C:/folder/subfolder/anumberofsubfolders* -> http://IP/anumberofsubfolders*). That [login to view URL] must be compared with lines in multiple files (sellected as parameters, [login to view URL] or /folder) with /[0-9]+/ as identifier, knowing that only one number between slashes will exist in every line at [login to view URL] and at the files it's being compared with. The url's on the list should be finally appended at the corresponding lines (those cointaining the same identifier) preceeded with a separator (|). Ideally, those lines which have not had anything appended should be deleted, and the resultant file saved. I'm doing this right now using a mix of tools (textpad, funduc's search&replace, filelocator), recorded actions and silly batch files. I'll attach some example source, master and final files, since maybe there are other ways of achieving the goal. Batches using freeware or commercial apps, vbs, python.. anything goes if it does what I need. It doesn't not need to be done in one step. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
