If I understand you correctly, I think it's actually more challenging than it looks...

 

My first thought was two turn them into surfaces first, and then find the right surface intersections...

I think it may be one way to do it, but I am struggling to clean out the intersections and merge all the surfaces... see attachment.

 

I found some discussions on a similar topic, but I am not sure if the same solutions can be applied.

David solved it here with a simple VB script, but I tried it, and couldn't get it to work.

I also thought you could try it with meshes. I will tinker with it later...

Hopefully someone will have better ideas/solutions!
