Hey, I had a similar problem not too long ago. My data came in the first 
format, but I didn't need it formated like that.

Here is how I would have written it:

import re
col=re.compile('(AD.*?)\s*$')
datas=re.compile('\s*(.+?)\s+(.+?)')
f1 = open('xx','r')
mind={}
matching=''

for i in meat:
	match=col.find(i)
	if match:
		mind[match.group(1)]=[]
		matching=match.group(1)
	match=datas.find(i)
	if match:
		mind[matching].append([match.group(1),match.group(2)])


That would collect the data and put it into a dictionary with the values 
being a list of the two part data. You could print like this:

for each in mind.keys():
	print each
	for value in mind[each]:
		print each+"    "+value[0]+"    "+value[1]


That should do it!

Ask if you don't understand any part of it.
