Return to a new line every 10 characters

I would like to write a program that read characters from a file and display them with two spaces between each character.

However, I am limited to 10 characters per line.

How could I make the program return to a new line every 10 characters?

// OUTPUT CHARACTERS FROM FILE

cout << "Characters read from file are: " << endl;

inFile.get(textWritten);
while (inFile) {
    if (textWritten == SPACE) cout << "    ";
    cout << textWritten << "  ";
    inFile.get(textWritten);
}
Solution

  • You can do something like this:

    int charCount = 0;
//inside the while-Loop
if(charCount == 10) {
    cout << "\n";
    charCount = 0;
}
//if it is a new character
charCount++;
