title: How to add a tab to a text file
body: <p>I am running a <code>for</code> loop that would query for certain services and then output the services and their selected properties to a text file on each separate line where each property is separated by a tab, but I haven't figured out how to add a tab to a text file.</p>
  
  <p>For instance, this is current set of strings in my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>write-output $server, $servicename, $status, $startname | out-file -append output.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to append the above string to <strong>output.txt</strong>, so it would appear like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>server1 &lt;tab&gt; servername &lt;tab&gt; status &lt;tab&gt; startname
  server2 &lt;tab&gt; servername &lt;tab&gt; status &lt;tab&gt; startname
  </code></pre>
