Writing gulp stream to file

I was interested in writing one gulp stream into a particular location inside of another stream, for example, if I had two files:

Stream A

Hello this is where I want {{File B}}

Stream B

a new kitten

Now I want to be able to have

var streamA = gulp.src(PATH_TO_FILE_A) var streamB = gulp.src(PATH_TO_FILE_B)

somehow I would like to write stream B into stream A at the position given. So that I have a new (single) stream that contains:

New Stream

Hello this is where I want a new kitten

I know that if Stream B was a string, I could just use the gulp-replace module, so is there some way to achieve this? Perhaps by returning a string from stream B?

it seems https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-change could help. – Pierre Emmanuel Lallemant May 13 '16 at 13:09
I like this package, very nice! But how could I use this to access the contents of file B inside of file A's stream? – user2662833 May 13 '16 at 13:17

I've seen this, but the streams may not necessarily be files. In fact, imagine I've already piped a source through three or four transformations to get to stream A and B, then I want to get stream B as a string. fs can read a file, but I couldn't find a way to get it to read a stream – user2662833 May 13 '16 at 13:35
