问题
So far I have this:
File dir = new File("C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\dir\\dir1\\dir2);
dir.mkdirs();
File file = new File(dir, "filename.txt");
FileWriter archivo = new FileWriter(file);
archivo.write(String.format("%20s %20s", "column 1", "column 2 \r\n"));
archivo.write(String.format("%20s %20s", "data 1", "data 2"));
archivo.flush();
archivo.close();
However. the file output looks like this:
Which I do not like at all.
How can I make a better table format for the output of a text file?
Would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Fixed!
Also, instead of looking like
column 1 column 2
data 1 data 2
How can I make it to look like this:
column 1 column 2
data 1 data 2
Would prefer it that way.

The \r\n is been evaluated as part of the second parameter, so it basically calculating the required space as something like... 20 - "column 2".length() - " \r\n".length(), but since the second line doesn't have this, it takes less space and looks misaligned...
Try adding the \r\n as part of the base format instead, for example...
String.format("%20s %20s \r\n", "column 1", "column 2")
This generates something like...
column 1 column 2
data 1 data 2
In my tests...

I think you are trying to get data in tabular format. I've developed a Java library that can build much complex tables with more customization. You can get the source code here. Following are some of the basic table-views that my library can create. Hope this is useful enough!

You're currently including " \r\n" within your right-aligned second argument. I suspect you don't want the space at all, and you don't want the \r\n to be part of the count of 20 characters.
To left-align instead of right-aligning, use the - flag, i.e. %-20s instead of %20s. See the documentation for Formatter documentation for more information.
Additionally, you can make the code work in a more cross-platform way using %n to represent the current platform's line terminator (unless you specifically want a Windows file.
I'd recommend the use of Files.newBufferedWriter as well, as that allows you to specify the character encoding (and will use UTF-8 otherwise, which is better than using the platform default)... and use a try-with-resources statement to close the writer even in the face of an exception:
try (Writer writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(file.toPath())) {
writer.write(String.format("%-20s %-20s%n", "column 1", "column 2"));
writer.write(String.format("%-20s %-20s%n", "data 1", "data 2"));
}

try {
PrintWriter outputStream = new PrintWriter("myObjects.txt");
outputStream.println(String.format("%-20s %-20s %-20s", "Name", "Age", "Gender"));
outputStream.println(String.format("%-20s %-20s %-20s", "John", "30", "Male"));
outputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
