Format a string into columns

Question

Is there a cool way to take something like this:

Customer Name - City, State - ID
Bob Whiley - Howesville, TN - 322
Marley Winchester - Old Towne, CA - 5653

Answer 1

In addition to Tomas's answer I just want to point out that string interpolation can be used in C# 6 or newer.

// with string format
var columnHeaders1 = string.Format($"|{0,-30}|{1,-4}|{2,-15}|{3,-30}|{4,-30}|{5,-30}|{6,-30}", "ColumnA", "ColumnB", "ColumnC", "ColumnD", "ColumnE", "ColumnF", "ColumnG");

// with string interpolation
var columnHeaders2 = $"|{"ColumnA",-30}|{"ColumnB",-4}|{"ColumnC",-15}|{"ColumnD",-30}|{"ColumnE",-30}|{"ColumnF",-30}|{"ColumnG",-30}";
