Hi,Gurus

I have a jsp page which will use out.write to output data in tab
delimited(fixed length column) format.
<%
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=
exp.txt;");

out.write(" following records found from your searching:");
....... (the results are writen here in tab delimited format )

%>

the header is set up this way because we need to pop up a download dialog
box so user can download this page to their local disk as default save as
exp.txt name shown in the save as box. (it works fine with the exp.txt
downloaded and data contained there, but I need to make the data formated
there)

my goal is when the user open the file they download, it will show the file
as a tab delimited(fixed length column) text file such as:

name         phone           address
john brown   123-456-7889    123 maple st, md 20821
lilly smith  457-154-7854    234 johnson circle, CA 92123

my question is how can I write the data in tab delimited format in the jsp
page using out.write() as the above shown format? (fixed length column, line
return....)

highly appreciated if someone give me some sample code or some instruction.
