Output from one program cannot be read by another

Jalex123 (4)
Hi, this could well be impossible to answer with the information I have but just wanted to check. I have to create a mesh to be read by another program, the mesh is the placement of particles for certain spacings, and my output can't be read by the the program created by another person. I have no access to the code of this program so cannot check how it works the only thing I have is an example mesh:

There are a few 1000 particles in the full version but thought I should cut it down! I can add more if needed.

Here is the code I created:

I've tried it without the tabs between the file outputs as well with no joy. So in a nutshell how do I put my outputs into the same form as the table above? Any help is greatly appreaciated!

Thanks!

Did you actually hit the tab key here? I think you must have meant this: "\t"

Haha, didn't know about "\t"! Well I won't be making that mistake again. It has been sorted now, turns out that the problem was in the first line of the output as it wants two spaces between the text and the number for whatever reason.

Thanks for your help.
