dev-C++ variable question

does anyone know what the variable for "string" is in dev-C++ from bloodshed. i tried it but i acted like it wasnt a variable.

its sad that there arent many windows C++ compilers that are free......:(

Did you use a reserved name like new or delete as the variable name. If you include <string> and write using namespace std, the declaration string abc will create a string. It also might be a code problem, like missing a semicolon somewhere.
