Hi can you please explain why do you need it? What do you want to do with the exported file?
I wonder what type of software can not accept any reasonable delimiter and requires fwf files. The only workaround I can imagine is to transfer all columns to character and add leading spaces to each item which is shorter than longest item in specified column to equalize length of all items in column and then use write.table( tab, "file.txt", sep=" ", row.names=F) as suggested. But I still wonder why? If you used e.g. write.table( tab, "file.xls", sep="\t", row.names=F) you can open it directly by spreadsheet program just by clickung on it and everything shall be properly aligned.
