Again, if there are no spaces in the file names, you might do something
like:

newfile=mynewfile
oldfile=myoldfile
rm $newfile
while read cmd arg1 arg2 rest_of_line; do
   if [ -z "$rest_of_line" ] && [ ! -z "$arg2" ]; then
     echo "$cmd $arg2 $arg1" >>$mynewfile
   else
     echo "bypassed: $cmd $arg1 $arg2 $rest_of_line"
   fi
done < $myoldfile


'nuf sed. ;)
