move string in a text file
Hi all!

I need some help in changing a text file. I have the following text file:
Code:
  1,050406259214736,00010,5000,MZM,V050,20131231,EMIG
  2,Available,20061126T10:40:15,vs,,
  2,Used,20110813T12:32:35,,825351585,1411012901443027
  1,050410256649750,00010,5000,MZM,V050,20131231,EMIG
  2,Available,20061126T10:40:15,vs,,
  2,Used,20110809T14:21:04,,825044142,1765121002150049
  1,050410256649751,00010,5000,MZM,V050,20131231,EMIG
  2,Available,20061126T10:40:15,vs,,

What I want is to move whatever is in front of digit 1 to be placed in front of word "Available".
For example the string "050406259214736" in line 1 should be moved to after word "Available" in line 2.
The number "050410256649750" in line 4 should be moved to after the word "Available" in line 5.

Whould that be possible?

mdbfontsize

mdbFontSize(5)							 The m17n Library						    mdbFontSize(5)

NAME

       mdbFontSize - Font Size

DESCRIPTION

       In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a
       bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information
       about font-size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format.

       FONT-SIZE-ADJUSTMENT ::= PER-FONT *

       PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ADJUST-RATIO ')'

       FONT-SPEC ::=
	   '(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
	      [ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
	    REGISTRY ')'

       ADJUST-RATIO ::= INTEGER

       FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
       See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.

       ADJUST-RATIO is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font-size must be adjusted. For instance, this PER-FONT:

	   ((devanagari-cdac) 150)

       instructs the font handler of the m17n library to open a font of 1.5 times bigger than a requested size on opening a font whose registry is
       'devanagari-cdac'.
