I am unable to get a new line in a text file

[ryandevlin17]

I am writing a linked list in C++, I cant seem to get a new line in my text file, everything I enter seems to wind up in one line, please help, here is my code.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

ofstream theFile("linked_list.txt");

cout << "Please enter the Type of component, Manufacturer, Number in stock and Cost in pence" << endl;
cout << "Press CTRL + Z to end file" << endl;

string Type;
string man;
int stock;
int cost;

theFile << "Type of component" << ": " << "Manufacturer" << ": " << "Number in stock" << ": " << "Cost in Pence" << ". " << endl;

while(cin >> Type >> man >> stock >> cost)
{
theFile << Type << ": " << man << ": " << stock << ": " << cost << ". " << endl;


}

return 0;
}

endl is outputting a newline to the file. The problem doesn't seem to be in this code, but may be something to do with how you are viewing the contents of the file.
