I have the endl, but its not going into my file, so when I enter in more than 1 line, its all on the same line in the notepad.

I've tried:

codeFile << codeLine;
codeFile << endl;

I've also tried adding a "n" to the string by adding a constant string to it but it doesn't work.

//Writing Coded Lines to File:
 if(codeFile)
 
 //Relaying Feedback to User:
 cout << "File has been successfully opened/created" << endl;
 cout << "nWriting to file..." << endl;

 for(int i = 0; i < lines; i++)
 
 //Getting Non-Coded Line from User:
 cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max(), 'n');
 cin.getline(line, length);

 //Creating Copy of Line:
 strcpy(cline, line);

 //Gathering Line Length:
 length = strlen(line);

 //Coding Line:
 codedLine = code(length, line, cline, sAlphabet);

 //Coded Line Test
 cout << codedLine;

 //Writing to File:
 codeFile << codedLine << endl;
 
 

 //Closing File:
 codeFile.close();

 cout << "nFile has now been closed";
 }

  If you talk about Windows notepad.exe that only breaks lines at "rn" but that's a visual thing related to the application. Your new line character is still present. Also, don't use std::endl, use 'n' instead.

Cygwin mocks a POSIX system and uses Unix line endings, not the Windows line endings understood by NotePad.

Replacing endl with 'n' won't help. endl is a 'n' followed by a stream flush.

The best option is to use a different file reader, WordPad for example, that understands Unix line endings. The alternatives are to

• Change your compiler toolchain to one that is not emulating a POSIX operating system, or


• Brute force a Windows line ending with rn, but this means your code will have a similar wrong line-ending problem on a Unix -based system.
