Hi,
I tried to compile the program shown below, but got the following error
message:

String name:       define name
              ^

1.1.cpp(10)    :    Error: undefined identifier 'string'
--- errorlevel 1

Code:

// ask for a person's name, and greet the person
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
// ask for the person's name
cout << "Please enter your first name: ";

// read the name
string name;       // define name
cin >> name;    // read into name

// write a greating
cout << "Hello, " << name << "!" << endl;
return 0;
}

If anyone knows why I'm getting this error, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Nicky

 Hi,
 I tried to compile the program shown below, but got the following error
 message:

 String name:       define name
               ^

 1.1.cpp(10)    :    Error: undefined identifier 'string'
 --- errorlevel 1

 Code:

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

Here's the problem: <string.h> doesn't define class string. It is
declared in <string>, and don't forget about namespacing:

    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;

That should do it.

Im having the same problems as this guy did and when i try this solution all i
get is "Fatal error: unable to open input file 'stl_config.h'
--- errorlevel 1"

here is my code!
-----------------------------------
#include <..\include\iostream.h>
#include <..\stl\string>
using namespace std;
void main(){
cout << "hello\n";
}
-----------------------------------
if i remove the "include string" it works but is of no use to me !!

Where is your stl_config.h?

You might what to try:
sc -I\include -I\stl
