Space in the output

Hello,

Is it possible to force somehow Oracle in SQL*Plus to get output of the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE command with the leading spaces?

Following example will print the word hello from the beginning from the line:

SQL> begin
  2 dbms_output.put_line(' hello');
  3 end;
  4 /
hello

And I would like to display it with the leading spaces :

   hello

Actually I need it in the file where I'm spooling the output.

Thank you in advance,
