Write the output with each field separated by a comma and save the output as a .csv file. Excel should recognise it.

You don't have to - you can tell Excel to split its columns based on any character you like. And as far as swapping rows and columns, that's probably easier to do in Excel as well...once you've got it all in separate columns, copy the whole lot and then "paste special" and select transpose.
