    Set Precision Help !

    I need to be two decimals precise therefore I am using this code

    Code:
    outData << setw(10) << set iosflags(ios::fixed) << setprecision(2) << totalGP;
    How come this isn't working ?

    What do you mean by not working, what are you getting exactly?
    Post the hole code, it's not cauesd by this statement.
    Maybe totalGP is not float or double!

    Try "setiosflags(ios::fixed);" rather than separating 'set' and 'iosflags' with a space.

    May be just a 'typo' in your post, but let's not overlook the obvious.
