Congratulations for finding a solution. Good job! Do you mind sharing your solution? It's obviously great that you've found it but at the time I am writing this 64 other people read your post and I am sure some of them are eager to learn about how this is done. So in the spirit of the forum, please share.

Code: Select all

#Include tf.ahk
FileCreateDir, Converted
gui,2: Add, text ,, Drop file
Gui,2: Show, w300 h300
return




2GuiDropFiles:
Loop, Files, %A_GuiEvent%\*.*, R  
{
n:=0,Answer:=[],Answer1:=""
FileDelete, 01.md
FileDelete, 02.md
FileDelete, test.md
TF_RemoveBlankLines("!" . A_LoopFileFullPath)
TF_SplitFileByText(A_LoopFileFullPath, "\*\*Answers\*\*", Prefix = "file", "md", InFile = 1)


Loop
{
    FileReadLine, line1, 02.md, %A_Index%
	if ErrorLevel
        break
	
	Answer[A_Index]:=line1
	
}

Loop
{
    FileReadLine, line, 01.md, %A_Index%
	if ErrorLevel
        break
 
if RegExMatch(line, "---") {
	Answer1:=Answer[n]
	
	n++
If (n!=1) && (Answer1) {
FileAppend,
(
***
%Answer1%

---


),test.md
	}
}
else
{
FileAppend,
(
%line%

),test.md

}
}

Sleep, 10
Tooltip,% A_Index

FileRead, Contents, test.md
FileAppend,
(
%Contents%
),Converted\%A_LoopFileName%
}
Return

some parts in the script is an overkill, and reduce performance
it was just a 1 time need for me , with the idea of getting it done approach.
however hope this helps someone

tf.ahk can be found here https://github.com/hi5/TF

Thank you. I did not run your script but this is what I had (based on your original post):

Code: Select all

arr:=["item 1","b item","item 3"]

maincontent =

for x,y in strsplit(maincontent,"---")
	res .=  (x=1?"":"`n---") . y . arr[x]
msgbox % res

strsplit makes it easy to look at the code
thanks
came in handy for one of my other task
