reading and outputting a return

[Sarahger9]

Hi,
I wrote a program that reads a file, by building up text one character at a time, looks for keywords, and replaces them if they are found. I am working on building up my output. The words come out right, and I added the punctuation back in ok. The last step is, if there is a return in the original text that started a new line, then I need to start a new line in the output. I tried,
if (text[j] == '\n'){
cout << endl;
}
but that didn't work, it didn't change the output at all.
Thanks for any help.

Have you used your debugger to see what you actually read??

A '\n' is a 10.
