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.
