Default retain table formatting when writing excel table to a txt file

table in excel file is as follows:


col b col c col d


Black-Scholes Directly in a Excel Sheet


Stock price S 61
Strike price X 65
Years to maturity T 0.25
Risk-free rate r 0.08
Volatility v 0.3


d1 -0.215
d2 -0.365


European call value 2.527
European put value 5.240


here is code to write this table to a txt file:


Sub writetabletotxtfile()
Dim ExpRng As Range
Dim ff As Integer
Set ExpRng = Range("worksheet_to_text")
'Set ExpRng = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion
FirstCol = ExpRng.Columns(1).Column
LastCol = FirstCol + ExpRng.Columns.Count
FirstRow = ExpRng.Rows(1).Row
LastRow = FirstRow + ExpRng.Rows.Count


ff = FreeFile()


Open "C:\Documents and Settings\xyz\Desktop\tabletote*xtfile.txt" For
Output As ff
Print #ff, ExpRng.AddressLocal()
Print #ff, ExpRng.AddressLocal(RowAbsolut*e:=False,
columnabsolute:=False)


For r = FirstRow To LastRow
For c = FirstCol To LastCol
vdata = ExpRng.Cells(r, c).Text
If c < LastCol Then
Print #ff, vdata; Chr(44);
Else
Print #ff, vdata
End If
Next c
Next r
Close ff


End Sub


here is txt file produced when running this code:
