Class String has no member named 'remove'?!?!!

bacarte2 (1)
Here's the error (it is the only error that Dev C++ finds):
Line 95 'struct std::string' has no member named 'remove'

I know it isn't pretty. I know it's not well organized and the variable names suck. Still learning here and I'm currently more concerned with getting this program to compile.

As you can see, I am trying to use remove() at line 95. At line 10 I have #include <string>. That's all it needs, right? I can insert other member functions from the Standard Class String anywhere, and they don't report an error; they don't prevent me from compiling the program.

Because I can use other member functions from the Class, I assume the member function remove() should be available as well. But I just can't get it to work! The only thing I can think of is a spelling error, but I'm pretty sure I can spell "remove." Or, maybe I'm missing the files that include 'remove'?

Does anyone know why it thinks 'remove' isn't a member?
Thanks
