What I would like to be able to do is something like

The search pattern is easy. I haven't figured out the replacement pattern. And it may well not be possible to do what I would like in a single step.

Roland Kuffner posted an example this morning in answer to your question that does exactly what you are asking:

Search for:
^((?:.+?,){6}).+?,(.+)

Replace with:
\1\2
