title: How can I put tabs in text files from Terminal?
body: <p>When I use Terminal to find every job that has been worked on last twenty-four hours I get a text file with lines like this:</p>
  
  <p>ABC 12345 Job Worked on DATE</p>
  
  <p>DEF 67890 Another Job on DATE</p>
  
  <p>GHI 10112 Final Job on DATE</p>
  
  <p>This text file can be up to hundred lines. I have to insert all this data into a tabel in Microsoft Excel. To make my life easier I would like to figure out how to add a tab in every line, after the numbers.</p>
  
  <p>Something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "ABC 12345 &lt;tab&gt; Job Worked on DATE" &gt;&gt; jobs.txt
  echo "DEF 67890 &lt;tab&gt; Another Job on DATE" &gt;&gt; jobs.txt
  echo "GHI 10112 &lt;tab&gt; Final Job on DATE" &gt;&gt; jobs.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How would I achieve this?</p>
