    Saving to a .txt file

    Hi, I need some help getting this to work right. I get errors with the last few lines of my code. It works like this or should work like this:
    1st if say doesnt = anything then(else) save this to a file
    2nd open file
    3rd look in file for whats in side, then that will be saved to a string
    4th learn=line+say+nothing+learn+whitespace
    5th save "learn" to file
    6th close file
    last restart loop of my programe

    Thats about it on how it should work, this what error I get is: no matching function for call to `getline(std::string&, std::string&)' hope you can help out, thanks if you can or point out if I made a mistake some where.

    Code:
    string say;
    string line;
    string learn;
    string learnfile = "learn.txt";
    string nothing = ": ";
    string whitespace = " ||";
    
    //more code in middle here
    
        else{cout<<"Hmm, I must not have this in my data yet, can you plez tell me what this word means?"<<endl;
            getline(cin, learn);
            ifstream learnfile;
            ofstream myfile;
            myfile.open (learnfile.c_str());
            while (getline(learnfile, line))
              learn=line+say+nothing+learn+whitespace;
              myfile << learn;
            learnfile.close ();
            cout<<"Saved, thanks for your help on making me better."<<endl;}}}//end of code
