writing files using "string"

I have included <string> and am trying to write out to a file but am getting some strange error messages.

my code:

f.write(current->text);

what should I change, or use?

A string has a member function, c_str(), which returns a char *. Try that.

Thanks.

I'll give it a go shortly, I'm just presently adding code to add an animal to my animal game. (a uni assignment)
