Hey Processing-community,

short question: I am using createWriter() to export some values of my application into a text file. Though how can i use specific tabs in this file. So instead of "\t" can I use a specific value?
And how could I determine the amount of tabs/spacebars according to a value i?
(to for instance show a matrix: the first value has to be with 0 tabs, the second has to be after 1 tab, etc etc)

Thanks in advance!

note sure, but did you mean something like that ?

PrintWriter output;

void setup() {
 // Create a new file in the sketch directory
 output = createWriter("positions.txt");
}

void draw() {

for(int i = 0; i<20; i++){
 for(int j = 0; j<i; j++)output.print("\t"); // adds Tabs
 output.println(i); // Writes i
}

 output.flush(); // Writes the remaining data to the file
 output.close(); // Finishes the file
}
