They should, unless you have a funky definition of 'a line down'.

I want to do something like this:
File<<"LineA"<<endl
File<<"LineB"

and get the result in file:
LineA
LineB

but instead I get the result of:
LineALineB

My code is something like this:

void
LogFile::WriteLine (string Line)
{
if (this->bWriteEnable)
{
ofstream File(this->FileName.c_str(), ios::binary | ios::app);

File<<this->LineNumber<<": "<<Line<<endl;
this->LineNumber++;

File.close();
}
}

LogFile LF("log.fl");

LF.WriteLine ("LineA");
LF.WriteLine ("LineB");

However I get LineALineB instead of:
LineA
LineB

I also tried to put the endl at the begining like this:
File<<endl<<this->LineNumber<<": "<<Line;

Doesnt work either.

Why are you opening the file in binary mode?
On MS platforms, an end-of-line is marked by \r\n.

Opening in text mode enables the translation file(\r\n)<->memory(\n), while opening in binary mode disables it.

Unless you really are manipulating binary data (which must not be translated), you have little reason to open the file with an std::ios::binary flag.

Ok, the problem is when I open the file with notepad it doesnt do the line downs.
However, with word pad I do see the lines one under the other.

That's because wordpad is smarter than notepad, and is able to deal with UNIX end-of-line conventions (i.e. just a '\n' in the file).
