I've got a problem with a score list. I am diplaying the scores of all the users who enter the game. The problem is that the score are not listed in an alligned form. The player names are displayed in a good way, but the scores are either displayed as only one word (i.e the score joined with the word example John90 or else when i tried to include a space between the name and the score, the scores are not displayed in an alligned form (they depend on the length of the name) eg:
John 90
Raymond 80
Jake 10
Charmaine 90


This is the piece of code used to display this (this is being displayed on a dialog box, and the text is called from a textfile to a TextArea):

Code:

try {
             
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You answered " + count +
                                      " out of " + questions.length +
                                      " questions correctly.");
            
              BufferedWriter out;
              String text = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter your name");
              out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("players.txt",true));
 
             out.write(text);//Write out a string to the text file
             out.write("  "); // i tried to use this to make a space, but its making a space depending on the length of the player name
             out.write(String.valueOf(count));
             out.newLine();
 
 
 
            out.close();
          }catch(IOException e){
             System.out.println("There was a problem:" + e);
 
                             }

Thanks for the help.
