    []string{"1/1/2014", "January Hosting", "2233", "$54.95"},
    []string{"1/4/2014", "February Hosting", "2233", "$51.00"},
    []string{"1/4/2014", "February Extra Bandwidth", "2233", "$30.00"},
}

table := tablewriter.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
table.SetHeader([]string{"Date", "Description", "CV2", "Amount"})
table.SetFooter([]string{"", "", "Total", "$146.93"}) // Add Footer
table.SetBorder(false)                                // Set Border to false
table.AppendBulk(data)                                // Add Bulk Data
table.Render()
Output 2

DATE | DESCRIPTION | CV2 | AMOUNT +----------+--------------------------+-------+---------+ 1/1/2014 | Domain name | 2233 | $10.98 1/1/2014 | January Hosting | 2233 | $54.95 1/4/2014 | February Hosting | 2233 | $51.00 1/4/2014 | February Extra Bandwidth | 2233 | $30.00 +----------+--------------------------+-------+---------+ TOTAL | $146 93 +-------+---------+

Example 3 - CSV

table, _ := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "test_info.csv", true)
table.SetAlignment(tablewriter.ALIGN_LEFT)   // Set Alignment
table.Render()
Output 3

table, _ := tablewriter.NewCSV(os.Stdout, "test.csv", true)
table.SetRowLine(true)         // Enable row line

// Change table lines
table.SetCenterSeparator("*")
table.SetColumnSeparator("‡")
table.SetRowSeparator("-")

table.SetAlignment(tablewriter.ALIGN_LEFT)
table.Render()
Output 4
