C++ char() / fstream problem

I''m having a problem, which can be easily summed up by, in outputting [by fstream] a char(10), it outputs BOTH a char(13) and then a char(10) [carriage return, etc...]... although for the program I''m making i NEED it to ONLY output a char(10)... is there an option to turn that extra char off? if not, is there any other way to output to a file char(10) only? thanks... source code that sums up problem: #include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main(){ ofstream ofile("C:\\test.x"); ofile << char(10); ofile.close(); cout << "done \n"; return 0; }
