With Python you can handle files content very easily.
But I don't think that someone here will do it for you.
What have you done so far? Post some code lines here to attract more people to help you.

Python is one of there more easy programming languages to start with,but it still take some effort to learn the basic Wink

If you just want to solve a task and not learn Python,it's more a post for jobs section of forum.

To give a example that almost should solve it,try writing to file yourself.
1.txt:

Output:11111 test bar+8
12220 foo bar+0
12221 foo bar+1
12222 foo bar+2
99999 car blue+9

with open('1.txt') as f:
    for line in f:
        if 'foo bar' in line:
            line = line.replace('foo bar', 'red car')
            print(line.strip())
        else:
             print(line.strip())

Output:11111 test bar+8
12220 red car+0
12221 red car+1
12222 red car+2
99999 car blue+9
