Does anyone know of a program which can look for text content in one file and replace just that portion of text with a portion of text from another file?

I've G6 Utilities, but that can only do this with whole files.
 
Can't you make a backup of the second file, then edit it so that it only contains the portion you want to copy. Then you use the program of yours.
 
You can use sed or awk, GNU programs that have been ported to windows. Let me try to find a link for you.

Warning: sed and awk are command line utilities.
