Like I said, it's true for std::endl, not for a newline character ('\n'). Strange that you had problems with that. Must have been something else. Or like DaWei said, mixing printf with cout.

@David: Thanx for clearing that up for me.

If printf "wrote to the screen" the contents written aren't there to flush. Unwritten contents might be. If your system wrote to the output device and the data remained in the buffer (well, the pointer didn't reflect the output), then you have a fairly serious failure. This would be unlikely on a normal, off-the-shelf system such as most people deal with. I would suggest you garner as much information as possible by examining the file pointer structure if you find this to be a real problem.

i like the fact that the letter 'o' seems to equal zero here.

I will, and it appears I also have some stuff to learn about this whole flushing thing. Thanks for the info.
