Oh, for goodness sakes...
In psuedocode

   open the input file
   open the output file
   Read a row
   While not EOF
   {
          OutputFile.WriteLine("{0}/"{1}", InputRow.Substring(1,15),
InputRow.Substring(16));
          read next row
   }
   close all files

Why use a regex for a simple positional thing like this?
