Combine multiple rows based on selected column keys

Hello
I want to collapse a file with multiple rows into consolidated lines of entries based on selected columns as the 'key'.

Example:

Code:
1 2 3 Abc def ghi
1 2 3 jkl mno p qrts
6 9 0 mno def Abc
7 8 4 Abc mno mno abc 
7 8 9 mno mno abc
7 8 9  mno j k

So if columns 1, 2 and 3 are designated as keys, output should be -
Code:
1 2 3 Abc def ghi jkl mno p qrts
6 9 0 mno def Abc
7 8 4 Abc mno mno abc 
7 8 9 mno mno abc mno j k

Thanks!
