[Dev-C++] Re: character 10

[Alan T. <ala...@3n...>]

    The strange this is that I am just writing out char(10), not =
char(13) too.  That section of code is as follows:

struct Calendar_Entry {
      int id;
      string start_date, end_date;
      string title;
      string description;
};
=20
vector<Calendar_Entry> entry_list(0);=20
. . .

 const char End_of_Entry =3D char(10);
 const char End_of_Field =3D char(124);
                =20
 Calendar_Entry entry;
. . .

  for (int i=3D0; i < entry_list.size(); i++)
      {
       MK_cal_file << entry_list[i].id << End_of_Field;
       MK_cal_file << entry_list[i].start_date << End_of_Field;=20
       MK_cal_file << entry_list[i].end_date << End_of_Field;
       MK_cal_file << entry_list[i].description << End_of_Entry;
      }

    I write out a string just before it, but that shouldn`t matter.      =

           Thanks, Alan
 Alan,

char(10) is '\n', the line feed character. When you paste into
 Notepad you get the solid block in Microsoft's edit boxes
 (Notepad is a simple edit box) unless you add also the char(13),
 ie '\r' the carriage return.

Hope this help.
