showpos output issue

I am trying to output numbers in an array called memory in this format: +0005
(given that that location in the array holds the integer 5).

My output is basically this: cout << setfill('0') << setw(4) << memory[i];
The problem is when I try to incorporate the showpos manipulator like so:

cout << showpos << setfill('0') << setw(4) << memory[i];

The output looks like this: 000+5 or 00+5, I can't exactly remember.
Either way that's not the output I want. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Can you post your entire code in code brackets so we can better understand the context?

The entire program is very lengthy. This is a snippet from one of the functions of the program. The output should look similar to this :


Memory: 
      0     1     2     3     4     5     6      7     8     9 
0  +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000
10 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000
20 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000
30 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000
40 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000
50 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000
60 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000
70 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000
80 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000
90 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000 +0000

And it does, except for those darned +'s.

	//seperate output from environment text
	blanklines(5);

	return Done = true;

You need to add the I/O manipulator std::internal or its equivalent. http://cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/manipulators/internal/
