Hash Tables using vectors

[CSJedi]

I am trying to create a hash table using the STL vector and list (for collisions) and Microsoft Visual C++ will not let me declare the following:

vector<list<string> > hashTable(251);

but will allow

vector<list<int> > hashTable(251);

I have tried to include string and also to typedef the string as char[20] but neither will work. Is there a way to declare such a vector?

The problem is what it take too much memory. All the tables will be truncated (if you push too much information or strings are too large). John Fill
