can't print a substring

[Guest_imported]

I was trying to print a substring on to the screen and got the error below. Any ideas?

error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

The code that generated the error is as below:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

main()
{

string state(&quot;empire&quot;
cout <<state.substr(1,7)<< endl ;
}

Use <iostream> not <iostream.h>. The old iostream.h does not have support for displaying strings using cout evidently.
