File Append In Such A Way That It Ends Line After Each Save C++

Question

fstream file("afile.txt" , ios :: out | ios:: in | ios :: app);
if(!file.is_open())
{
    cout << "Error Loading File!";
}
else
{
    // cout << " File Created ";
}

for(i = 0 ; i < gameplayed ; i ++)
{

file <<name << " Won $"  << prize << " And Answered " << questions << " Questions" << "\n";

}
file.seekg(0);
string line;
while(file.good())
{

    getline(file,line);
    cout <<  line  ;
}

So basically the codes works perfectly and doesn't overwrite, but it just starts right after like

"Player Won $2000 Dollars And Answered 6 Questions Plater2 Won $2000 Dollars And Answered 6 Questions"

I want is To Appear Like With a line break and not after it

You are writing each line without a line break between them, so... — molbdnilo, Jan 06 '20 at 14:53

This will help you

Replace std::endl with "\r\n" to get CRLF instead of just LF.

Your output does have line breaks.

However, it doesn't have carriage returns.

If you're reading the file on Windows, in an app that makes a distinction, you won't "see" the break.

You may wish to consider writing \r\n instead, which is the standard line ending sequence on Windows.
