Console Table class

A class for building console/ASCII based tables (like the ones the MySQL client produces). Has Append/Prepend/Insert methods and supports table headers and footers. Automatically handles setting the correct widths for columns.

Example

ConsoleTable table = new ConsoleTable();

table.AppendRow(new string[] {"foo", "bar", "jello"});
table.AppendRow(new string[] {"foo", "bar", "jello"});
table.AppendRow(new string[] {"foo", "bar", "jello"});
table.AppendRow(new string[] {"foo", "bar", "jello"});

table.SetHeaders(new string[] {"First Column", "Second Column", "Third Column"});
table.SetFooters(new string[] {"Yabba"});

table.InsertRow(new string[] {"", "ferfr", "frf        r"}, 7);
table.PrependRow(new string[] {});

System.Console.Write(table.ToString());
