Text editing/manipulation

Hello all.
I need to rearrange a very long text file with the following format.
The number of lines in each block is variable, but is between 1 and 10.

Any hints what command could I use for this?
Thank you.



Code:
  SAMPLE      2600
  15    3453  159   3970  486   4327  760   4498
  1215  4638  1620  4707  1927  4882  2280  4967
  2564  5079  2894  5284  3229  5441  3846  5678

Code:
  SAMPLE      2800
  23    3446  140   3831  308   4172  526   4374
  853   4568  1177  4638  1716  4746  2321  4963
  2604  5111  2823  5284  3045  5410  3917  5788
  4486  5985  5141  6195

The desired output format is:


Code:
2600 15     3453  159   3970  486   4327  760   4498
1215   4638  1620  4707  1927  4882  2280  4967
2564   5079  2894  5284  3229  5441  3846  5678
2800 23     3446  140   3831  308   4172  526   4374
853    4568  1177  4638  1716  4746  2321  4963
2604   5111  2823  5284  3045  5410  3917  5788
4486   5985  5141  6195

XML::DOM::Text(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 XML::DOM::Text(3)

NAME
XML::DOM::Text - A piece of XML text in XML::DOM DESCRIPTION
XML::DOM::Text extends XML::DOM::CharacterData, which extends XML::DOM::Node. The Text interface represents the textual content (termed character data in XML) of an Element or Attr. If there is no markup inside an element's content, the text is contained in a single object implementing the Text interface that is the only child of the element. If there is markup, it is parsed into a list of elements and Text nodes that form the list of children of the element. When a document is first made available via the DOM, there is only one Text node for each block of text. Users may create adjacent Text nodes that represent the contents of a given element without any intervening markup, but should be aware that there is no way to represent the separations between these nodes in XML or HTML, so they will not (in general) persist between DOM editing sessions. The normalize() method on Element merges any such adjacent Text objects into a single node for each block of text; this is recommended before employing operations that depend on a particular document structure, such as navigation with XPointers. METHODS splitText (offset) Breaks this Text node into two Text nodes at the specified offset, keeping both in the tree as siblings. This node then only contains all the content up to the offset point. And a new Text node, which is inserted as the next sibling of this node, contains all the content at and after the offset point. Parameters: offset The offset at which to split, starting from 0. Return Value: The new Text node. DOMExceptions: o INDEX_SIZE_ERR Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in data. o NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR Raised if this node is readonly. perl v5.16.3 2000-01-31 XML::DOM::Text(3)
