You have several options.  You can write out your text file in a 
delimited format and then when you read the file, tell it you want to 
read in a delimited file and tell it the delimiter.  You can delimit 
columns on white space (like spaces or tabs) or you can use a 
predefined character (like '^' or '|' or ',').  Someone's already 
posted how to print out with tabs.

OR, you can actually find out what the file format is for .xls files 
and write out your file in that format.  But that's going to be a bit 
more complicated and I don't know the .xls format.  You can probably 
dig it up with a little research and/or experimentation.
