I would try something like:
% sed -e 's/[ ^I]*/:/'
to make the first part of the line (the one including
SOME_SINGLE_WORD_STRING, in your example) be separated from the rest of
the line by a single ':' character.
Then it should be fairly easy to have AWK print what you want.
% cat format.awk
{
printf "$1 = %s\n", $1;
printf "$2 = ";
for (i = 2; i < NF; i++) {
printf "%s%s", $i, FS;
}
printf "%s\n", $NF;
}
and fire up awk with something like:
% sed -e 's/[ ^I]*/:/' | awk -f format.awk -F:
