If by ``table'' you mean data frame, you can get most (???) of what you want
by doing:
sink("neat.txt")
print(xxx,row.names=FALSE)
sink()
To get things exactly as you want them, you might have to mess around
using sprintf() on the (numeric) columns of the data frame xxx before
printing it. There is almost surely nothing ``off the peg'' that does
exactly what you want.
