Error c2679

[effa]

anyone knows how to fix this...

Error 1 error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

i couldnt figure out why it does this everytime i tried to do a simple cout on the pointer that carries the data

cout << ptr-> data

it works on the memory add it holds but not the data.why? google seems didnt help much.
ieven tried them but didnt work.

any help would be much appreciated.

Try removing the space between -> and data.

What type is data? You'll have to overload the << operator properly if it's a custom type, if I'm not mistaken.

string.h is the C header for strings. Are you including iostream or iostream.h, by the way?
