Anyone lame 'vi' question......

This is a long shot, but there are many bright folks on here Smilie

My next vi drama involves a using a prototype file for a makefile. I have an old prototype file but its not in correct format. It's formated as:

/the/old/path/file1 <garbage> <garbage>
/the/old/path/file2 <garbage> <garbage>
.
.

I'm trying to format it into:
f none /the/old/path/file1=../../the/old/path/file1 777 user group

I've made a copy of the old file, removed <garbage> and whitespaces, and got everything I need left of the "=". Now I'm looking for a quick way to get the right side of the "=" formated correctly.

Any help is appreciated Smilie

xzdiff

XZDIFF(1)							     XZ Utils								 XZDIFF(1)

NAME

       xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files

SYNOPSIS

       xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
       xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
       lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
       lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]

DESCRIPTION

       xzcmp  and xzdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1).  All options specified are passed
       directly to cmp(1) or diff(1).  If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of  a  supported
       compression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped.  If two files are specified, then they are uncom-
       pressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1).  The exit status from cmp(1) or diff(1) is preserved.

       The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

SEE ALSO

       cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zdiff(1)

BUGS

       Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
