ofstream problems

I am reading a variable through cin and i wish to output it to a file, my beta version works, but it kills the output after the first space...the tutorial here says to use the following code:

string output;
//use char or string??

yada yada yada

cin.getline(output,'\n');

and yes i do have a main function and all that good stuff...i followed the example exactly, but during compile, i get this error:
Could not find a match for 'istream::getline(string,char)' in function main()

please help me, it would be much appreciated

std::string has its own global getline function, the version you're using works with char arrays. Try something like -

std::getline(cin,output,'\n');
