[SOLVED] C++ Problem - about endl & \n

[guang4243]

Hello, i now learning to write C++ code in linux platform
but some how i face some problem:
Here is my coding:

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
using namespce std;
int main()
{
ofstream Hello_test;
Hello_test.open("Hello.txt");
Hello_test<<"Test...\nTest..."<<endl;
Hello_test<<"Hello World"<<endl;
Hello_test.close();
}


After that, i success compile and run it.
In the Hello.txt file, it show that:

Test...
Test...
Hello World

This is good, because i get what i need. But when i copy this Hello.txt file to window platform, it show that:

Test...Test...Hello World

Here is my question, why the text file does not show the next line where every thing already combine together.
Is there anywhere can solve this problem?
Please Help

Hello there!

I had same problem, too a few time ago. After searching and doing some tests, I realized the following: Linux handles newline character '\n' as it should (i.e., it forces a newline), but Windows uses a '\n\r' newline+carriage return pair (don't know about the order, though) to force newline. However, if you use Wordpad to open your .txt file, it should handle '\n' correctly. That is, it is NOT a programming bug or something related to the compiler, but it's Windows that handles the characters differently.

Cheers
