file/array manipulation

Hello

I'm trying to manipulate a text(.csv) file using php. I've read the file and can print each line,
 but I need to write where column A is missing

ColumnA    ColumnB

R                ABC company
                  ABC company
                  ABC company
                  ABC company
O                XYZ company
                   XYZ company
                   XYZ company
                   XYZ company

What I need to do is write a while loop (I think) to interate through the lines and populate ColumnA 
while ColumnB equals $var (ABC company then XYZ company), so that I end up with:

ColumnA    ColumnB

R                ABC company
R                ABC company
R                ABC company
R                ABC company
O                XYZ company
O                XYZ company
O                XYZ company
O                XYZ company

Is this possible. What I've got so far to print out the file:

$lines = file('test2.csv');

// Loop through our array, and show line and numbers too.
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
  echo "Line #<b>{$line_num}</b> : " . $line . "<br />\n";
}


Thanks in advance
