title: How to get equal spacing in ssh with javascript console.log
body: <p>I'm running javascript with node.js and looking at the console.logs through Putty.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get the terminal in ssh to show me things with the tabs inline? I see two tab spaces but the string following is out of place depending on how long the first string is.</p>
  
  <pre><code>console.log('short'+'\t\t'+'valueA');
  console.log('looooooong'+'\t\t'+valueH);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I might get something like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>short        valueA
  looooooong        valueH
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>whereas for readability it would be much nicer to see</p>
  
  <pre><code>short        valueA
  looooooong   valueH
  </code></pre>
