  <p>For example, </p>
  
  <pre><code>  print &gt;&gt;outPutFile , c.lstrip()+"\t"+d.rstrip('\n')+"\t"+a+"\t"+b
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  cfn79e739_1.lp  260175  79      739
  
    cfn100e1217_1.lp        288734  100     1217
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The second line has no tab after 288734. Why?</p>
