At the time, we thought this was our main obstacle in rewriting the lines for pgAdmin. The command: <code>sed "s/\t/, /g"</code> was an attempt to replace all tabs between columns with a comma followed by a space (we chose a comma since it is what SQL uses). But of course, this was when we discovered the extra spaces. You'll also notice that the formatting of the rows is inconsistent (a minority of the rows actually did what we expected them to do). This stressed us out too.
