You don't say what language/OS you are using, I'll assume Python
on *nix since you are posting here and using /etc/hosts.
Do you know how to program in Python?
Do you know how to program in any other language?

What exactly is the bit you don't understand?

But if you are running out of time and don't already know how to
program I would recommend you study the sed man page....
sed was written for just these kinds of tasks.
