Appending the last few columns to the front

Hi

consider this as the first line
00010015 MORGAN STANLEY & CO INCORPORATED N 110 INVESTAR 1 0001OT NJ 201-830-5055 01-Jan-1974 00:00:00 1 01-May-2008 00:00:00 05-Jun-2008 13:34:18 0001 - From SMSRun1_GIDQA02
Consider this as the second line
00010015 MORGAN STANLEY & CO INCORPORATED N 110 INVESTAR 1 0001OT NJ 201-830-5055 01-Jan-1974 00:00:00 1 01-May-2008 00:00:00 05-Jun-2008 13:34:18 0001 egesdegjeog rogjeogje - From SMSRun1_GIDQA02

Here i need to cut "- From SMSRun1_GIDQA02" from the end of each line and need to append it at the front as "From SMSRun1_GIDQA02 - ". So that the output looks like

From SMSRun1_GIDQA02 - 00010015 MORGAN STANLEY & CO INCORPORATED N 110 INVESTAR 1 0001OT NJ 201-830-5055 01-Jan-1974 00:00:00 1 01-May-2008 00:00:00 05-Jun-2008 13:34:18 0001

But the problem here is that the position of "- From SMSRun1_GIDQA02" might vary from line to line since there might be odd number of columns.Can "- From" be taken as a key to cut "- From SMSRun1_GIDQA02" and append it to the front?
