HELP!! (kind of repetitive, yes.)

[MC felon]

hello.
i tried this for a simple push_back action..... it says "ostream - no
such file or directory"

#include <iostream>
#include <conio2.h>
#include <string>
#include <ostream>
int main()
{
clrscr();
std::cout<<"rough engine of ecod\n\n";
std::cout<<"please input text\n\n";
std::cout<<"when you have completely typed in the message, please
press enter\n\n";
std::string str;
getline(std::cin,str,'\n');
str.push_back('\n');
std::cout<<str;
}

compiler error: ostream: no such file or directory
what am i supposed to do?

Removing the #include <conio2.h>, clrscr(), and fixing the linebreak
this compiles perfectly fine for me. If this is really the code that
fails you have a problem with your environment and will have to look for
support somewhere else.

I cannot reproduce that error from your code. It would appear that your
compiler is not set up correctly and does not find some of the standard
headers. You should post your problem in a forum where the quirks of your
particular compiler are topical.

Not just repetitive, dumb too. Try giving your posts subjects that actually
convey useful information.

Let's see now. What are the possibilities?

Either the ostream header exists on your system or it doesn't.

If it does exist, then presumably there is some problem with the way you
have set up directories in your IDE so the file isn't being found. If it
doesn't exist, then either there is a problem with your installation or you
have a non-standard implementation. Either reinstall or get a different
implementation, as appropriate.

Just by the way, you rarely need to #include <ostreamdirectly. Just
#including <iostreamnormally suffices. You might try simply removing
#include <ostream>

int main()
{
clrscr();
std::cout<<"rough engine of ecod\n\n";
std::cout<<"please input text\n\n";
std::cout<<"when you have completely typed in the message, please
press enter\n\n";
std::string str;
getline(std::cin,str,'\n');
str.push_back('\n');
std::cout<<str;
}

i'll try. only that i'm such a newbee that i'm still struggling to make
the major shift from turbo c++ to a STANDARD compiler.
thanks anyway, i'm switching to CODE::BLOCKS RC1
