Turning my lists into useable copy commands
Hello everyone! I currently work in the motion picture industry and we constantly receive lists of missing media from our sound department. I use a series of commands in TextWrangler in order to remake the lists into useable copy commands to automate the whole process but if I could make this work with one grep command or in some other fashion that would be amazing. Forgive me because my coding skills go about as far as googling what I need and testing things till they work.

Here is an example of a list we get from the sound department:

Code:
WA6016_03.A01.D114D54EF9A91.wav    CX_Media_06:OMFI MediaFiles:zCassie:
FRK6030_04A01.D11A054F4C480.wav    CX_Media_06:OMFI MediaFiles:zCassie:
FRK6029_03A01.D11A054F4C47D.wav    CX_Media_06:OMFI MediaFiles:zCassie:
FRK6031_02A01.D11A054F4C481.wav    CX_Media_06:OMFI MediaFiles:zCassie:
FRK6032_06A01.D11A054F4C486.wav    CX_Media_06:OMFI MediaFiles:zCassie:
FRK6032_04A01.D11A054F4C485.wav    CX_Media_06:OMFI MediaFiles:zCassie:
FRK6028_02A01.D11A054F4C47B.wav    CX_Media_06:OMFI MediaFiles:zCassie:

R6v0225_BTA02.D118C54F38E42.wav    CX_Media_06:OMFI MediaFiles:zCassie:


And here is how I need it to look:

Code:
