Hi everyone,

Really appreciate all the great help in the past. This might be something very simple but because I am new to C++, I don't know it.

If I wanted to print out a set of numerical data from a 'cout' or 'out' statement so that the data is formatted into 2 columns in such a way that it will be read as 2 separate columns in a spreadsheet.


or


Where 'a' and 'b' would be variables generating a stream of numerical data.

I have tried the '\t' and 'setw (n)' options but it doesn't format it into 2 separate columns of data that can be read by a spreadsheet.

Is there another function or manipulator that I am unaware of that can accomplish this task?

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it.

Then save it to a file with a .csv extension (for Windows anyway)

Thanks a lot "The Dark"!!

That worked really well. Renaming the output file to (.csv) made a big difference.

Really appreciate it.

In Excel you can change the character you want to use as delimiter in a comma seperated value(csv) file if you wish.
