Subject: String manipulation: cut, insert, column editing...

Hi all,

Is it possible to use ruby like awk, sed or cut in unix to editing
strings?

Let say I have to write INSERT query like this:

This is the first (1属) item.
This is the second (2属) item.
This is the third (3属) item.
...

In one file I have the word-number (first, second, third) and in another
file I have the real number (1属, 2属, 3属) of the item, both on each line.

Of course, I don't want to really write it, so how can I "edit" the
number of the item dinamically? I've tried with regex, but I haven't
found a solution...

I think that with some text editors maybe it's possible to do that, but
I would like to know if with ruby the result can be achieved easier.

Let me know.

Thanks.

Best regards.
