writing newline character '\n' 1

[tdnash]

I am using Visual c++ .net to create a MS Word document.

I created the .doc in word, then did an octal dump on it so I could see, character by character, what the .doc file consisted of.

Now, I am attempting to re-create the .doc by writing a C++ prg that simply opens a file, and does a series of fprintf statements to write, character by character, the exact same data that was in the MS Word created document.

I see many \n symbols in the word document, I try and write these out with:
fprintf(fout,"\n");
and when I do an octal dump on my file, I see that statement wrote 2 charcters: \r \n
how do I write out the \n without the \r
that is the ultimate question....
Thanks,
Todd

You're opening your file in text mode, which performs automatic translation of single newlines into \r\n pairs.

Open the file in "wb" mode to prevent this translation from happening.
