nextline statement in write function

how would I put a '\n' in say outfile.write( record, sizeof(record)).
Thank you in advance for your help.

What the hell do you mean? Do you mean, how to output a \n using
ostream::write? That's simple:

outfile.write("\n", 1);

Since it's so simple, I doubt you're asking about that. So, what
is this "put '\n' in say outfile.write ..."?

Maybe he means this:

outfile.write( record,
sizeof(record) );

"\\n"


Why "\\n"? Neither character of the string "\\n" is the character '\n'.
Nobody said anything that implied a literal backslash (unless these
are Perl-style single-quotes).

What does this has to do with '\n'?

The newline is after the comma. ;-)

It's a statment broken into two lines in the source (i.e. there's
a newline character in the statment).

I took this reply as sort of a 'joke'.

Sorry you dont like my sense of humor. :-( .

I was just having fun trying to figure out what the OP's question
might be, since he didn't say what the types of outfile or record are,
and there shouldn't be any problem writing a newline to any of the
standard streams or stream buffers.

I didn't mean to indicate that. I did say I thought it was a joke.
I like a joke as much as the next fellow, especially in a programming
context.

I was just having fun
Of course, that's what I thought. :-)

Yes, I sometimes approach an ambiguous post that way, and more
often, the OT ones. :-)

Heh, you said "sort of a 'joke'", which doesn't sound too amused ;-)
