Thanks a lot.

Explanation:

Code:

s==$1{printf("\t\t\t%s\n", $2);next}

If the variable s is equal to the first field, print 3 tabs before the 2nd field and read the next line.

Code:

{s=$1;print}

If the variable s is not equal to the first field, we have a new line. Store the value of 1st field in s and print the whole line.
