Working with Tab-Delimited files

I have a tab-Delimited file:
Eg:
'test' file contains:
a<tab>b<tab>c<tab>....

Based on certain condition, I wanna increase the number of lines of this file.How do I do that
Eg:
If some value in the database is 1 then one line in 'test' file is fine..
If some value in the database is 2 then 2 lines in the 'test' file is required with the second line not matching the first line(this is req since i wanna perform a replace command later(Eg: replace 'a' with '1')

Eg:
'test' file will then contain:
a<tab>b<tab>c<tab>....
d<tab>e<tab>f<tab>....

i need to simulate this using a shell scripts..kindly help me..
