Not long after I have posted above message I noticed that some data
processing software (e.g. Origin (TM)) does not accept files with empty lines
between data. Below is the code that writes converted data in more condensed
form (without empty lines):

RegularForm[x_]:= OutputForm[NumberForm[TableForm[x//N, TableSpacing->{0, 6}], 
ExponentFunction->(If[-10<#<10, Null, #]&), NumberFormat->(If[#3=="", 
SequenceForm[#1, #3], SequenceForm[#1, "E", #3]]&)]]
