Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi ,

i would convert the following file
[1237228:00002-00001] V M BOURSE EMPLOI mail/mail-03/dfr-dc.nsf
[1237228:00002-00001] V M DelSpam mail/mail-04/celine_bet.nsf

like that :

mail/mail-03/dfr-dc.nsf;BOURSE EMPLOI
mail/mail-20/celine_bet.nsf;DelSpam

the second field ( ex: DelSpam... ) could be filled with one or more words !

which is the best way to do that ?

thanks in advance
Christian
