create tab delimited text file

The code below should at least help get you on the right track.

Best, Kevin Skoglund

Or you could use CSV or FasterCSV with the option :col_sep=>"\t"

eg.

@orders=Order.find :all,

    @report= FasterCSV.generate({:col_sep=>"\t"}) do |csv|       csv << ["order-id","quantity","ship-date"] # title row       for o in @orders         csv << [o.order_ref,o.quantity, o.ship_date]       end     end
