specifically... I guess I want to output all of those variable to a file(tab separated) . Does that help?

I can understand that but I'd say you aren't thinking the "PowerShell" way. Use objects or create your own:
$obj=new-object psobject
$obj | Add-member Noteproperty Date $date
$obj | Add-member Noteproperty DriveE $driveE
$obj | Add-member Noteproperty DriveF $driveF
$obj | Add-member Noteproperty DriveG $driveG
$obj | format-table -autosize
Or you can even pipe the line last line to Out-file
$obj | format-table -autosize | out-file results.txt
I suspect there's more going on with your task. This can be just part of it. The point is you shouldn't be trying to parse out strings. Work with objects.
