Changing std::endl to put out CR+LF instead of LF

Question

I\'m writing a program on a Linux platform that is generating text files that will be viewed on, inevitably, a Windows platform.

Right now, passing std::endl

Answer 1

Here was my solution to the problem. It's a bit of a mash-up of all the info provided in the answers:

1. I created a macro in a win_endl.h file for the newline I wanted:

   #define win_endl "\r\n"
   

2. Then I did a search-and-replace:

   sheepsimulator@sheep\_machine > sed -i 's/std::endl/win_endl' *
   

And ensured all my files included win_endl.h.
