How to create a text file with indent formatted text

Hello everyone, I am creating a gui in which the user provide an input and after clicking a button the output is a text/word file containing indented text. For example, after input a, the output should be “someText” and in the line below, indent “another string”. It should look pretty much like a loop or an indented code in the matlab editor. However, I’m not able to find a smart way to paragraph and indent without writing a ton of code or a variable containing only spaces. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance

I suggest to use the string data type functionality. Here's an example for Tab and new line options
string(sprintf('\t')) + "myText;" + sprintf('\n') + newline
