It's certainly dooable - Bash would be a little on the painful side -
but Perl, Python or Ruby could do this reasonably trivially.

I use writable dired mode in Emacs to do this kind of stuff.  I'm
pretty sure "gee vimto" or whatever it is the other school of thought is
calling a "visual editor" these days can do something similar if you
know the right mystic incantations :-)

The question is what kind of help do you want?
