Is _UNICODE defined?

That #define thing you do for wcout/cout, you need something like that for wstring/string.

The compiler's almost certainly reported exactly what's wrong, but you've only pasted a part of what it reported and are asking about the missing part.

I don't understand what to do to make the code work, I'm a beginner
and i copy this code from stackoverflow !

Can you post the full error please,

But you probably need to add:

2
3
4
5
6

#ifdef _UNICODE
#define tcout wcout
#define tcerr wcerr
#define tstring wstring
#else
#define tcout cout
#define tcerr cerr
#define tstring string
#endif

Then use std::tstring instead of std::wstring

You need to add:
 
 
#include tchar.h


This'll explain what's going on: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/text/unicode-programming-summary?view=msvc-160
