I cant seem to get any string type variables to work....I even put this
simple program together:

----------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
string Name;
Name = "Carl";
cout << Name << endl;
return 0;
}
----------------------------------------------------------
To test if the problem is the strings and it gives me the following errors:


--------------------Configuration: Test - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
Test.cpp
c:documents and settingsownermy documentsc++test.cpp(5) : error C2065:
'string' : undeclared identifier
c:documents and settingsownermy documentsc++test.cpp(5) : error C2146:
syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'Name'
c:documents and settingsownermy documentsc++test.cpp(5) : error C2065:
'Name' : undeclared identifier
c:documents and settingsownermy documentsc++test.cpp(6) : error C2440:
'=' : cannot convert from 'char [5]' to 'int'
This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or
function-style cast
Error executing cl.exe.

Test.obj - 4 error(s), 0 warning(s)


Does anyone know whats going on and if its my string.h header file...can
someone give me a link to download it please.

Thankyou.

Regards,
Carl

I think you are confusing C strings and C++ (nee STL) strings. See if your
compiler will accept

#include
You will also need a using directive.

I tried the #include <string> in place of the #include <string.h> and it
didnt work. I still get the same exact compiler errors.

Use std::string instead of string. Or, as osmium told you, put in a "using"
clause.

or

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
string Name = "Carl";
cout << Name << endl;

return 0;
}

You need to get an up-to-date book on C++ programming, one that covers
standard C++, especially the new standard library features such as
std::string.
