Hi I have a file with contents as below :

Code:
server | ABC Issue : File System Missing XYZ Issue : Wrong Syntax PQR Issue : Old File to be removed

Now I am looking for an o/p similar to

Code:
server <tab> ABC Issue : File System Missing

         <tab> PQR Issue : Old File to be removed

Any help is appreciated.
