Is it possible to insert lines into a file from another file based on the files 
found in a directory.
For example: I have a destination dir: /destination with the following files:
/destination/file1
/destination/file2
/destination/file3
/destination/file4
/destination/file5
In my source dir: /source there are the files: 
/source/file2
/source/file3

Now the lines from /source/file2 must be in /destination/file2 and file3 in 
file3 etc.
But I don't want to specify file names. 

files:
        "/destination/${file}"
        create => "true",
        edit_line => insert_files;
}
bundle edit_line insert_files
{
insert_lines:

        "/source/${file}"
        insert_type => "file";

${file} must be an slist of the files found in /source
Is there a way to create such a list with cf-engine or do I need to use 
external commands?
