Oracle select statements

I have been trying to create a text data-file by spooling the results of a select statement to file. The problem is, Oracle puts a space between the returned columns of a select statement. I know about concatenating columns using '||', but that gets rid of all spaces between the selected fields, not just the one being inserted by oracle.

Is there a way to get rid of the space between columns, which are being, added to separate data elements while maintaining the spaces within the field when oracle returns SQL results?
