Actually, it's very close (my tape measure is slightly stretchy! ;-)
You could do it in memory:
>> read %file1.text
== "This is a test.^/"
>> read %file2.text
== "(small but enlightening) ^/"
>> head insert find read %file1.text "test" read %file2.text
== "This is a (small but enlightening) ^/test.^/"
or write the result back to disk:
>> write %file1a.text head insert find read %file1.text "test" read
%file2.text
>> read %file1a.text
== "This is a (small but enlightening) ^/test.^/"
Obviously you could write it back over one of the input files; the
hazards of doing so are well-known (and have nothing to do with
REBOL).
