You've got a few options, depending on how sophisticated you want to
get.  Based on that small sample, it looks like the easiest thing to
do might be to replace runs of multiple spaces with a single tab.
Something like:

  str.gsub( /\s+/, "\t" )

Otherwise, you could definitely split it on spaces and print using
#printf and a carefully-crafted format string.
