New to C++ and needing help; Can't find <lvp\string.h> |LawrencevillePress

I've gone through a few threads trying to find something to fix my problem, but the latest I've found that is similar is from 2003.

It's my first time learning C++, and we are using the Lawrenceville Press book they give out at my high school. Working from home, I have downloaded the files instructed, but one of the files they use in the book is <lvp\string.h> but it's not in the library.

I'm using a really simple program to test it, and it's even depicted as an example in the book, but the statement still doesn't work.

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <lvp\string.h> // unable to open include file 'LVP\STRING.H'

int main()
{
String Name;            // Unidentified symbol & Statement missing

cout << "Enter your name: ";
cin >> Name;                  // Unidentified symbol
cout << "Welcome, " << Name;
cout << "! Nice to meet you!" << endl;
return(0);
}

Any ideas?
I have till April 20th to finish the whole book, but this is the only thing stopping me. (I slacked for 2 months. However, I'm determined to finish it.)... Not to mention this is only Chapter 3.
I'm glad I finished both Java and AP Java Programming last year, it helps make C++ a lot faster.

Unfortunately, an Amazon.com review notes that:

Rather than teaching you how to do something properly using standard C++, the book often relies on it's own libraries, which are provided either as a CD or download. The result is not a knowledge of C++, but a dependence on these libraries, which effectively prevents the reader from learning how to do numerous common tasks.

Another user on this message board also had similiar concerns.

You should consult your teacher. However, if you are not doing this for module credit or the like, then I suggest that you ditch this book in favour of say, Accelerated C++.

I wish I could, but the book comes with the course and I can't do much about it.

You should consult your teacher.

If I did that, my cover would be officially blown. I'm asking the only other student in the course for some help, but there hasn't been any reply yet.

What cover? The fact that you delayed working on this for two months? I think you have to decide whether your ego or your grade is more important to you. Not like your teacher will be giving you a fatal beating, so just apologise for slacking and move on.

It's not that big of a deal, and if I end up needing to I will, but it was just a joke.

I'm looking for a solution, and that's all. Being 1 out of 3 girls in a room of 14 computer classes in high school, and being in the top class with only 2 students (me and another guy), doesn't really have me jumping at the chance to admit I was slacking. Though, it's not like I have the chance to at the moment.
It's my responsibility to get it done, but I was just looking for a bit of help.

The thing is, if the file is missing, you're simply stuck. It is unlikely that anyone here would have the file, and even if they did, it might not be exactly the file that you require.
