This line doesn't do the right thing:

ch += 32*j;

You want to count by 32, that's either

ch += 32;

or

ch = i + 32*j;

I strongly recommend making the numeric and character values match during your output. So change

cout << setw(3) << i+(32*j) << " " << setw(6) << ch;

to

cout << setw(3) << int(ch) << " " << setw(6) << ch;

How to copy turbo c++ output?

How can I replicate the output of Turbo C++?  I had already Googled the issue, but in vain.  It suggests to either print scrn and paste or right click, select all, and paste.  I tried both, but neither worked.  The issue is that it simply copies what is on the current screen.  But I want the entire screen from the start.  (Alt+printscrn is also ineffective).  What should I do in this situation? printScrn Alt+printScrn markall None of them are operational!!
