I have a data frame that has the column separated by one or more spaces. I would like to convert the data frame into a tab separated data frame that splits the strings where the spaces are.

This data frame was converted from a list, thats why it has the dots.

[1973,] "hsa_let_7a_5p_TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATAGC_0_I_C_0_tt -0.2148    0.8067   0.1859 -1.156    0.248"          
[1974,] "hsa_let_7a_5p_TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATAGC_0_I_C_0_tt    0.8067       1.24    0.5604     1.161"            
[1975,] "hsa_let_7c_5p_TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATGGTC_0_I_C_0_t 0.1345    1.1439   0.1914 0.703    0.482"            
[1976,] "hsa_let_7c_5p_TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATGGTC_0_I_C_0_t     1.144     0.8742    0.7861     1.665"
