Looks to be an issue with newlines. In linux, a newline is simply \n. In Windows it's \r\n, and some Windows programs get confused when they just see a \n, notably notepad. Notepad++ and basically any other editor will handle Unix newlines correctly.

Hi Simen,

 Thank you very much, after replacing all the '\n' with '\r\n' it resolved 99% of the formatting issue expect for the below function, can you help me on the same.

auto getAvailableDiskSpace(Array!string UtilDrive, File logF) {
auto result = ["/usr/bin/df", "-h", UtilDrive, "--output=target,size,used,avail,pcent"].execute;
enforce(result.status == 0);
logF.writeln(result.output);

}

The output of the above code is as below(Single line)

Mounted on  Size  Used Avail Use%/backup     3.0T  2.6T  393G  87%

std.array.replace[0] is your friend:

auto getAvailableDiskSpace(Array!string UtilDrive, File logF) {
    import std.array : replace;
    auto result = ["/usr/bin/df", "-h", UtilDrive, "--output=target,size,used,avail,pcent"].execute;
    enforce(result.status == 0);
    logF.writeln(result.output.replace("\n", "\r\n"));
}
