Hi

I am using GNU emacs 21.4.1 and wanting to use regex to do the
following.

I have few lines in the format 
  -rw-r--r-- 1 fred fred 56823 Oct 14 01:32 samcar
  ...
  -rw-r--r-- 1 fred fred 56823 Oct 14 01:32 manham

I want to end up with 
{ "sam/car", ..., "man/ham" }

so my step by step approach is to remove the 
"  -rw-r--r-- 1 fred fred 56823 Oct 14 01:32 "

then to change aaabbb with aaa/bbb.

then to replace end of line with (", ")

and maybe by then I will learn enough to finish the task.

so, playing around with incremental regex search and hoping some body
will help me to learn something mean while.

thanks
