Editing columns

Hi, I have a file with a title for some rows but not all. I tried looking for examples of this but I am not sure what its called.

The file looks something like this:

Code:

name date 1 2 3
2 3 4
5 6 7
3 4 6
title author 1 3 5
2 3 5
2 3 2

Its hard to describe what I want to do with it but I want it to look like this:

Code:

name date 1 2 3
name date 2 3 4
name date 5 6 7
name date 3 4 6
title author 1 3 5
title author 2 3 5
title author 2 3 2

So basically adding the first two columns so the rows below until a different title appears...
