I can't get this to compile using V

[webcrazy]

I can't get this to compile using VC++ 5.0:

//ask for person name and generate frame
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
std::cout << &quot;Please enter your first Name: &quot;;
std::string name;
std::cin >> name;

//build the message
const std::string greeting = &quot;Hello, &quot; + name + &quot;!&quot;;

//build second line of out put
const std::string spaces (greeting.size(), ' ');
const std::string second = &quot;*&quot; + spaces + &quot; *&quot;;

//build 1ST and 5th lines
const std::string first(second.size(), ' '*');

//write it all out
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << first << std::endl;
std::cout << second << std::endl;
std::cout << &quot;* &quot; << greeting << &quot; *&quot; << std::endl;
std::cout << second << std::endl;
std::cout << first << std::endl;

return 0;
}

Can Any one help me?

Should be:

const std::string first(second.size(), '*');
