i need some help to understand line 23

[adna21]

what is the point of adding another tab if the previous line does it after each cell?

Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
    Dim ts As Scripting.TextStream
    Dim r As Range
    Dim ColumnCount As Integer
    Dim i As Integer
    
    Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
    
    ' Open for writing
    Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile( _
        Environ("UserProfile") & "\Desktop\TestExcelFile.txt", ForWriting, True)
    
    ' activate Sheet1
    Sheet1.Activate
    
    ' determine number of columns to copy
    ColumnCount = Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlToRight)).Cells.Count
    
    ' iterate through rows and columns
    For Each r In Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown))
        For i = 1 To ColumnCount
            ts.Write r.Offset(0, i - 1).Value & vbTab
            If i < ColumnCount Then ts.Write vbTab
        Next i
        ts.WriteLine
    Next r
    
    ts.Close
    Set fso = Nothing

To add an extra tab separator for everything except the last column, I'd guess. Whether that works or not is another question. Only you can decide that by inspecting the output text file and deciding if the format is to your liking.
