string.h

[Ron]

I have used #include<string.h> and then declared String str1, str2; and have not been able to use cin>>str1; after prompting for input.

try using the function: getline (cin, stringname,'\n'); to see what happen.

use it without capitals.

#include <string.h>
string strFile;

You have 3 problems:

1. The header file is included as <string> (instead of <string.h>)
2. The class you need is string (not String).
3. To use the string class directly, you need to declare the std namespace at the top of the file:

using namespace std;

If you're just using one (or even just a few) things from the standard library, it's it's better to insert the individually into the global namespace, instead of dragging the entire library in:

using std::string;
using std::cin;

string Str1, Str2;
cin >> Str1;



Sometimes, it's best just to qualify the name where it's used:

std::string Str1, Str2;
std::cin >> Str1;
