The best format for exporting data is CSV. Numbers are in ASCII,
separated by either comma, semicolon or TAB, whatever you like.
The importing program should be told the separator you used
during export and maybe some more hints if the data isn't plain
integer or fixed point data. Hints are needed to date/time values,
currency values and such.

Text may be exported as well and each cell should be enclosed in
quotes.

To maintain the row/column of your arry you need to cycle thru
you data line by line. You may need to specify a format with the
print statement to avoid a new line after 80 or 256 bytes of
output as the receiving program will start a new line of input
if it detects a line feed in the data.
