Replace lines from one .txt file to another

How i can repeat python commands and change some parameter every time in repeat? I just searching and seems that here is not to easy way to do this?

Now i'am very close the finish this, but i do not wanna write this almost same command about 80 times with some another parameters.

I mean this:  w and d +values change:

w=50
d=56 

#3
linesToCopy=range((w+16),(d+30))
with open('file1.txt') as f1, open('file3.txt', 'a') as f2:
   for i, line in enumerate(f1, 1):
       if i in linesToCopy: 
           f2.write(line)
           
#4        
linesToCopy=range((w+20),(d+20))
with open('file2.txt') as f1, open('file3.txt', 'a') as f2:
   for i, line in enumerate(f1, 1):
       if i in linesToCopy: 
           f2.write(line)
           
           
#5
linesToCopy=range((w+36),(d+52))
with open('file1.txt') as f1, open('file3.txt', 'a') as f2:
   for i, line in enumerate(f1, 1):
       if i in linesToCopy: 
           f2.write(line)
           
#6        
linesToCopy=range((w+42),(d+42))
with open('file2.txt') as f1, open('file3.txt', 'a') as f2:
   for i, line in enumerate(f1, 1):
       if i in linesToCopy: 
           f2.write(line)
           
#7
linesToCopy=range((w+58),(d+72))
with open('file1.txt') as f1, open('file3.txt', 'a') as f2:
   for i, line in enumerate(f1, 1):
       if i in linesToCopy: 
           f2.write(line)
           
#8        
linesToCopy=range((w+62),(d+62))
with open('file2.txt') as f1, open('file3.txt', 'a') as f2:
   for i, line in enumerate(f1, 1):
       if i in linesToCopy: 
           f2.write(line)         

#......80

And yes, there is some same cycle every 2/4 command/file1 and 2

Cycle is like:

#3. file1 command  w+16 d+30 
#4. file2 command  w+20 d+20 
#5. file1  command  w+36 d+52  (w+20 d+22 than before file1 command)
#6. file2 command  w+42 d+42  (w+22 d+22 than before file2 command)
#7. file1  command  w+58 d+72  (w+22 d+20 than before file1 command)
#8. file2 command  w+62 d+62  (w+20 d+20 than before file2 command)

#9. file1  command  w+78 d+94  (w+20 d+22 than before file1 command)
#10. file2 command  w+84 d+84  (w+22 d+22 than before file2 command)
#11. file1  command  w+98 d+114  (w+22 d+20 than before file1 command)
#12. file2 command  w+104 d+104  (w+20 d+20 than before file2 command)

This is the purpose of "functions"

# define the function
def copyFileLines(fromFileName,toFileName,start,end):
    linesToCopy=range(start,end)
    with open(fromFileName) as fromFile, open(toFileName, 'a') as toFile:
        for i, line in enumerate(fromFile, 1):
            if i in linesToCopy: 
                toFile.write(line)
    
# use it:
fileName1='file1.txt'
fileName2='file2.txt'
fileName3='file3.txt'


copyFileLines(fileName1,fileName3, w+16,d+30)
copyFileLines(fileName2,fileName3, w+20,d+20)
copyFileLines(fileName1,fileName3, w+36,d+52)
copyFileLines(fileName2,fileName3, w+42,d+42)

# etc...

Note that you are opening/closing all the files each time, if they are big the performance is going to be awful. You can open the target file once for all before calling the functions (replace parameter with its name with a parameter that hold the open file object). There is likely a simpler logic (fixed intervals) that allows you top open the two source files once for all, especially if they are always read/copied in the forward direction. In which case your code would just be a short loop.

Files are small, how it possible to repeat those lines where "w" and "d" values are with fixed values?

Look my last post, there are same cycle every 4 blocks after #4 command line...

You can create tuples that indicate what the ranges of lines are, and then iterate the tuples:

def copyFileLines(fromFileName,toFileName,start,end):
   linesToCopy=range(start,end)
   with open(fromFileName) as fromFile, open(toFileName, 'a') as toFile:
       for i, line in enumerate(fromFile, 1):
           if i in linesToCopy: 
               toFile.write(line)
    
# use it:
fileName1='file1.txt'
fileName2='file2.txt'
fileName3='file3.txt'
lineRanges=(16,30,20,20),(36,52,42,42),(58,72,62,62),(78,94,84,84),(98,114,104,104)

for start1,stop1,start2,stop2 in lineRanges: 
   copyFileLines(fileName1,fileName3, w+start1,d+stop1)
   copyFileLines(fileName2,fileName3, w+start2,d+stop2)

The lineRanges tuples can be values where d and w  have already been added. And if there is some "logic" in the values you can compute them instead of entering them all by hand.
