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