Spaces as delimiters import into Excel quite nicely too. You just have to check the space box for picking delimiters.
For me, using a space as a delimiter is preferred over a tab due to the extra output space required for a tab. For example, in one of my programs, I use the variable “I” all over the place. Here is the variable concordance for the variable, “I”: I 450(3) 470(3) 1330 1350 1360 1390(2) 1400 1410 1440 1530 1550 1560 1580(2) 1590 1600 1610 1830 1840 1850 1880 1890(2) 1910 2110 2130 2140 2150 2160 2170 2250 2260 2270 2290(4) 2330 2390(2) 2410(5) 2440 2450 2470 2480 2570(4) 2580 2610 2640 2740 2840(2) 2850 2890 2930 2950 2970 2990(2) 3000 3010(2) 3020 3030(2) 3040 3050 3100(2) A tab as a delimiter would require many more lines. As far as making it pretty for formal documentation, I will allow the user to do that with their favorite spreadsheet, word processor or if they desire, modify the source code I provided accordingly. This output was meant to be a quick concise output that could be used for debug/development. In a spreadsheet or word processor, it can be dressed up and comments with detailed variable descriptions can be added.
