output to file using ofstream without closing stream.

Hi everyone,

Apologies for the newbie question, but I'm having problems with the ofstream object.

Basically I'm using it to create a log. I have a log object which when created opens the log file with the following command...

oFile.open ("ITSO Module.log", ofstream::out | ofstream::app, filebuf::sh_read);
oFile << "----------------------------------------------------------------\n";

I then call a writeLog(LPSTR lpMessage) command which outputs to the log like so....

oFile << lpMessage;

When the program exits the log object is destroyed and the following call made...

oFile.close()

The problem is that I can't see tha changes made to the log file until I close the app. How can I make it so the updates to the log file can be seen as they happen (i.e. without having to close the file)

Thanks in advance,

Beechy
