OutFile to file help

rduckett91 (12)
I'm trying to outFile to houseData.txt. I did that fine but now all the data is all on the same line 10 times. What did do wrong in my code?

House Price
Number
------ -----
329155000235000
459160000235000
505185000235000
500215000235000
345210000235000
456305000235000
344405000235000
501355000235000
401190000235000
300170000235000

I need it to look like this

House Price
Number
------ -----
329 155000
459 160000
505 185000
500 215000
345 210000
456 305000
344 405000
501 355000
401 190000
300 170000

The average price is: 235000

Here's my code. Don't mind the the sortArray function I'm still working on that

I think you just have to format it.
You know how when you don't send it to a file but just use the black box to see what is going on?
Just do the same thing.
I didn't look at your code so much but it sounds like this is what you are asking. If not sorry.
