It's not very elegant (a product of my first attempts to use Mathematica a
few years back, sorry), but it has been doing the job of writing tab
delimited files for me ever since. Just specify the list to be saved and the
path&name of the new file as arguments to writeOutput[ ].

writeOutput[outputList_?ListQ,saveName_?StringQ]:=Module[{lineout,wstrm},
wstrm=OpenAppend[saveName<>".txt"];
lineout="\n";
Do[
lineout=lineout<>ToString[outputList[[i]],FormatType->OutputForm]<>Tab,
{i,1,Length[outputList]}];
WriteString[wstrm,lineout];
Close[wstrm];
];
