actually the structure of my file is like this:
Code:
IP1	AttribA	Param1 Value
AttribB	Param1	Value
AttribC	Param1	Value
...
AttribF	Param2	Value
AttribG	Param2	Value
AttribH	Param2	Value
AttribJ	Param2	Value
...
IP2	AttribW	Param1 Value
AttribX	Param1	Value
AttribY	Param1	Value
...
AttribZ	Param2	Value
...

No matter what "Attrib" or "Value" is, i need to organize file according to "Param" values grouping with "IP"s. Desired output is:

Code:
IP1	AttribA	Param1	Value	AttribF	Param2	Value	...
	AttribB	Param1	Value	AttribG	Param2	Value
	AttribC	Param1	Value	AttribH	Param2	Value
				AttribJ	Param2	Value

IP2	AttribW	Param1	Value	AttribZ	Param2	Value	...
	AttribX	Param1	Value
	AttribY	Param1	Value
...

Some "Param"s have 1 "Attrib"s, some have 3 "Attrib"s, some have 6 "Attrib"s, etc... These "Param"s must be written as columns. I ve tried with awk but i couldnot determine how many tabs should be placed in each line since there is no fixed number of "Attrib"s.
