Find lines in text file with certain data in first field

Hi all,

Sorry for the title, I was unsure how to word my issue. I'll get right to the issue. In my text file, I need to find all lines with the same data in the first field. Then I need to create a file with the matching lines merged into one. So my original file will look something like this:

a1 test1
a1 test2
b2 test1
b2 test2
a2 test1
a2 test2
b1 test1
b1 test2
...


And I want to output a new file to look like this:

a1 test1, test2
b2 test1, test2
a2 test1, test2
b1 test1, test2
...

Please help!!
