String Class Problems

Hi, I'm currently working on making a string class and there are a few parts I'm stuck on.

1. I overloaded my >> operator to take in a string of characters from the keyboard but I don't know how to get it to where it reads all the characters until it's done instead of white space. I figured I could use the getline function but I get the error: "no matching function for call to 'getline(std::istream&, char [200])"

2. I'm trying to overload my + operator to add two string of characters together and also add a single character with a string of characters but I'm get the
error: "must take either zero or one argument" for both of the operations.

3. I have to create a function that sees if there is a string of characters in a given object but I can't think of an algorithmic way of doing this. I was able to create a function to find a single character in an object but i can't think of a way to find consecutive characters. Any brief pseudocode would be great.

Any help on these 3 things would be appreciated. Here is my code:
