WHILE WRITING TO A FILE

It is possible you are using a version of Fortran with carriage control in the formats. Some have it, some don't. The interpretation of the first character varies. Normally 1 means form feed which may be why you are seeing blanks. Try 1X, before your print string format.
More than likely you are using list directed output:
write (*,*) 'hello'
or
print *, 'hello'
List directed output on some compilers prints a blank character first. To print directly (without blank charater)use explicit formatting :
write (*,'(A)') 'hello'
or
print '(A)', 'hello'
write (*,*) 'hello'
or
print *, 'hello'
