Banking/ATM program, how do I set the current date/time for each action the user does?

Dkmariolink (42)
I already finished my program, but the last step I'm supposed to complete is a transaction history function. I have the foundation down and the time function complete, but everytime I run it, the same time appears for all actions, also, there is a space between every action, which I do not want. So for example, it shows up like this..

Date - 4/16/16 10:55pm

Withdraw $35

Date - 4/16/16 10:55pm (Even though I did it at a different time)

Deposit $100

When I want it to show up on the same line like this...

Date - 4/16/16 10:58pm Withdraw - Amount - Status (whether it went thru or not)

Date - 4/16/16 11pm Withdraw - Amount - Status

Also, my thing does this weird error where it restates the last action twice. so like this...

Date

Deposit

Deposit

 void atm :: deposit(void) // Takes bal variable from bank class and keeps it as a constant total, deposit adds to bal
{
   long double deposit;
   cout << "Enter how much you would like to deposit: ";
   cin >> deposit;
   bal = deposit+bal;
   cout << "You have deposited: $" << setprecision(100) << deposit << endl;
   if (deposit >= 100000)
    cout << "Now that is a lot of money!" << endl; // Easter egg
    ofstream file;
    file.open("transHistory.txt", std::ios_base::app);
    file << "Deposit $" << deposit << endl;
    /*

}

void atm :: ShowTransHist() //Gets the transaction history from the file path string and display
{
   ifstream file;
   string history;
   string time = Date_Time();
   file.open("transHistory.txt");
   if (file.is_open()) {
 while (!file.eof()) { // Reads all lines in the file


    file >> history;
    cout<< time <<  history <<  endl;

 }
}
file.close();

}
string Date_Time() // Function to get date and time
{
    time_t now = time(0);
    string dt=ctime(&now);
     return dt;
}

Okay I figured out the time part, but now, each space in the code shows up on a completely seperate line in the actual program, like so

Date
Deposit
250
Date
Check
Balance
250

Anyone know why that's the case? I want each action to be on the same line like so

Date - Deposit - 250

Here is the updated bit

Anyone? This is the last step and I can finally turn this in.

I just want to know how to seperate lets say a deposit action with a withdraw action instead of them being on the same line, been trying for over an hour

Whu do you use endl when you don't want a new line?
 
 
file << time << "Deposit $" << setprecision(10) << deposit << endl;

I'm going to restate my question as I've edited the code a bit. Everytime I run it, It shows up like this...

4/16/16 10:55pm Withdraw 35$ 4/16/16 10:58pm deposit 50$

This is what shows up from my transHistory function, if the user selects to view it. But...

I want it to show up on different lines like this...

4/16/16 10:55pm Withdraw 35$

4/16/16 10:58pm Deposit 50$

Bump. My last code is what I need help figuring out line spacing with.
