std::endl in a string variable?

std::endl isn't only a \n (newline) character, but it also flushes the stream.

If you have a file open in 'text-mode', your operating system should replace \n with the correct platform specific end of line character(sequence). So simply appending a \n should be fine. Portable end of line (newline)

Also note that by default, standard input and output are opened in textmode with msvc.
