Hi,
I have written this code, and at the end, I am trying to write a
vector of strings into a text file. However, my program is nor
compiling, and it gives me the following error when I try to write to
the file:

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

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have posted my entire program
here.
Thank you
