I have no idea what went wrong or how. I'm writing QuizzerApp - it reads a .txt file as a special "quiz file", which has different sorts of questions and their answers - basically, that .txt is a quiz. The problem comes in when I std::cout a question and its asnwer choices. For some reason, it works when I output a fill-in question to the screen, but not the multiple choice. In detail, the problem is with the endl's. Instead of ending a line, it spits out something hexadecimal. It also messes up previous calls to std::cout. There's about 10 statements I need to output. The first 5 belong to the fill-in group, which works fine alone. The second 5 have the weird error. Also, for some weird reason, instead of the statements getting outputted in order, as in {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}, something totally weird happens: {1,2,5,6,7,8,3,4,5,9,10}. And once again, I get junk instead of endl. Need I post my code, or does this problem sound familiar to someone? [Edited by - v0dKA on September 12, 2004 4:37:27 PM]

I don't mix printf and cout, although I may have mixed \n and endl...

EDIT: Never mind, I only used endl.

EDIT 2:

There's too much code to post, but here's a possible cause of the error. I do cout std::string's, but I use their c_str() method, as in:

std::cout << endl << SomeSTDstring.c_str();

But that would result in something hexadecimal, followed by the actual string. Weird, stupid error. Me no like.

EDIT 3: OK, here's the code which messes up all:


I divided up the cout statements into multiple statements, in case that was the cause. All variables are declared.

Question, Why are you mixing std::cout calls with non std endl and cin?

without using the std namespace all of those should require std:: to prefix them. Yet your posted code doesn't. Which should give you an error at compile time.

soo umm ya.

...Oh

yes.
