Well, in some code I'd written previous, I used .write instead of
.println. When I actually tried .println, the output I got was as
such:

file1.txt
<space>
file2.txt
<space>
file3.txt
<space>
<space>

Not so pretty right?

when using .write, I get:

file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
<space>

Which is exactly what I want. I asked this of another person as well.
I naturally though println would give me nice clean output as in my
second example. But it didn't. When I used .write, it did. So, I'm
sticking with .write. Do you have any idea why println would give me
such spaced output?
