WriteFile Function from WinAPI

I will clarify just in case it is about functions .
I noticed that it skips the transition symbol to another line: \ N ". How to make the row transition?

Update:

Sample code:

int main ()
{
  STRING PATHEXE = "C: \\ Projects \\ Tests \\ Release \\";
  Auto File = Createfilea ((Pathexe + "logtest.txt"). c_str (), generic_write, file_share_read, null, creat_always, file_attribute_normal, null);
  if (file == invalid_handle_value)
  {
    Printf ("Error% X \ N", GetLastterror ());
    STD :: COUT & LT; & LT; "\ NRELOAD NEEDED. Log Error"; // MessageBox
  }
  DWORD SIZE = 0;
  STD :: STRING TEXT = "\ N1";
  for (int i = 0; i & lt; 100; ++ i)
  {
    WriteFile (File, text.c_str (), (text) .size (), & amp; size, null);
    Size + = (Text) .Size ();
  }
  Return 0;
}

Update2: When I wrote a question, I opened the file with a regular notebook (Windows 7). Now opened NotePad ++ and there are transitions to another line Oo. How so?

The problem is in what.

When you write a string into a file through standard streaming functions (and the file is open as text, and not as binary), transcoding occurs on the fly from the short ends of the strings (\ N ) to system-dependent ( On Windows \ R \ N ). And the ends of the rows of the type \ R \ N fall into the file (you can check any hex editor).

When you write via Writefile , he knows nothing about lines, and writes to the file as it is. That is, the ends of the rows of the type \ N fall into the file. (You can check again any hex editor.)

How correctly suggests @ograndy in the comments, notepad perceives only the ends of the row of the \ R \ N . On the other hand, in the UNIX standard, the ends of the strings have the kind of \ n , and your file is essentially inadvertently in this format. Since other editors understand this format, they interpret your file as the UNIX text, and show it as you wanted.


Solution – either add \ r before \ n in your lines, or write through standard string functions of the language.
