Hello All,

I have a text file with marked up data that I need to convert into a
text tab separated file.

The structure of the input file is listed below (see file 1) and the
desired output file is below as well (see file 2).

I am a complete novice with python and would appreciate any tips you
may be able to provide.

Best,

Tess

<color>blue</color>

<item>CHAIR</table>
<color>yellow</color>
<color>black</color>
<color>red</color>
<item>TABLE</table>
<color>white</color>
<color>gray</color>
<color>pink</color>


file 2 (tab separated):
TABLE   black   blue    red
CHAIR   yellow  black   red
TABLE   white   gray    pink
