Appreciate your time to help.
Although your real input may be tab delimited and the output you want may also be tab delimited, the sample input and output files you have provided in this thread do not contain any <tab> characters; only <space>s.

You are much more likely to get code suggestions that will work with your input data to produce the output you want if you post sample input and output that is representative of your actual data. Providing spaces in your sample input and output instead of tabs and then complaining that the code suggestions you have received don't preserve tabs is disingenuous.

  NAME
      mcxalter - various network transformations

  SYNOPSIS
      mcxalter [-imx <fname> (specify matrix input)] [-abc <fname> (specify label input)] [-tab <fname> (use tab file)] [-o <fname> (output)] [-tf
      spec (apply tf-spec to input matrix)]

  DESCRIPTION
      This utility supplies various transformations of networks.

  OPTIONS
      -abc <fname> (label input)
	The file name for input that is in label format.

      -imx <fname> (input matrix)
	The file name for input that is in mcl native matrix format.

      -tab <fname> (use tab file)
