c++ newline character under windows command line redirection

I found that Windows command line redirection will replace '\n' with '\r\n' automatically. Is there any method to avoid this situation? Because after stdout or stderr redirection, you will got '\r\r\n' instead of '\r\n' if you write '\r\n' to the console.

Thanks a lot!

you can just try a simple program:

fprintf(stdout,"Hello, world!\r\n");

then you run it with redirection:

demo 1>demo.log

By using any HEX editor, you will find that '\r\n' is represent开发者_如何学Pythoned by '\r\r\n'.

UPDATE:

@steve-jessop I have solved this problem by using setmode, which will force stdout using O_BINARY mode. So the stream won't translate \n into \r\n.

Thanks a lot!


The way to avoid it is to not write "Hello, world!\r\n". Either fprintf(stdout,"Hello, world!\n"); or std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl; is sufficient.

This isn't particular to command-line redirection or stdout, the same would be true with any file descriptor open in character mode (as opposed to binary mode).


'\n' is the platform-independent newline representation. It's expanded by the compiler to whatever is the actual newline representation for the platform you're compiling for -- '\r\n' for Windows, and '\n' for *nix and friends, including MacOS.

So this is why you see '\r\r\n' in hex editor -- '\n' from '\r\n' that you wrote in source was expanded to '\r\r\n'.
