    including a table in my program

    Is it possible to make a c++ program where the output is composed of tables?
    I doubt if I can use printf for this task.
    What specific command should I study to be able to include a table in my program?

    thanks..

    If you're dealing with a console (as I imagine you are), then you could make your own table with some of those upper-valued ASCII characters. I'm not sure that's portable, though.

    I think I saw on here were you could just use - + and | to create boxes and tables. The line/box drawing Ascii codes are really nice though.

    You may teach a person from now until doom's day, but that person will only know what he learns himself.

    Now I know what doesn't work.

    A problem is understood by solving it, not by pondering it.
