    It's all working nicely now except for one detail. When I do "outfile << "\n" it doesnt move down a line like it should? Is there another way to do this?

    could be that you have to flush the output buffer.
    try
    Code:
    cout << endl;
    instead

    Do you mean outfile << endl; ?
    This is the code in my main while loop:
    Code:
    Set a;
    a.readFromFile(myfile);
    outfile<<a;
    Set d(a.readOperator(myfile));
    Set result(d);
    result.order();
    outfile<<" = "<<result<<"\n";
    How do I get it to end the line after printing the Set result?

    Did you open the file in binary mode? Either open it in text mode, or you'll probably have to write a \r\n pair

    This is how I did my file.
    Code:
    ofstream outfile ("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Scott\\Desktop\\C++\\SetOutput.txt");
