I'll bet there are several ways to do it with the Canonize command.
For example, extract all the date lines from the first file. Then
This can probably be done with half a dozen lines of Perl. I haven't coded in
Perl for years, so I won't try to write the actual code, but it would be
something like:
for every line in file 1
if line contains /.*/
read a date from file 2
replace
