escape characters

Hi, I was wondering if there is a newpage escape character in c++ like the newline escape character("\n"). I am using gcc under linux. Any help would be appreciated

\f is new page

Thanks for the info but it still doesn't work. This is how I am using it:

outFile << "someString\f someOther string";

is there a special header file I have to include or something?

no. nothing to be included. But your OS and the output device need to support it

maybe the newpage escape character is not what you wanted... what effect do you want?

the newpage character is for printers i think, i don´t think terminals or files support it (since they have no pages...)

Basically I have made a employee punch Card program. You specify punch in times and punch out times from a file along with the employee id and the program keeps track of all regular time hours and over time hours per day. At the end of each week the program computes payments. Now I want the information of each employee on a new page. I used the \f on a file and all I get is a little box [] at the position that I typed it. I tried printing it out but it doesn't print on a seperate page. There must be something in the language the forces a new page. Thanks for the help

the little box is the \f ("form-feed"). your program that displays the file is not compatible it tries to display ascii 0x0c

which os does your program run on?
