Just to clarify a bit of confusion arisen in this thread: neither std::endl nor the newl at hand reset the width; they both behave as unformatted output functions. The difference between them is just in the flush. The difference between << 'n' and newl is precisely that the former is a formatted output operation; since there's no special behavior for out << c when c is a control character, << '\n', << 't', etc. work the same as, let's say, << 'x'. As a side note, this means, for instance, that for << '\n' std::left/std::right actually seem something like std::before/std::after :-) Genny. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
