Function Does Not Take 3 Arguments

Phil123 (131)
Okay, so basically I'm trying to allow the user to talk to NPCs in the room and when they do, it'll read text in from the .txt file (depending on what room they're in, or what NPC they talk to).

Using: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express C++, Windows 7 OS.

9 times out of 10 I can fix errors myself, but not this one - I've searched around on the internet for others with a similar problem but I lack the experience to apply their solution to a different scenario in coding.

And with that, here's the code:

The error I get is this: (note the line should actually be 91 as I'm not including every other line of code)

1>  Main.cpp
1>c:\main.cpp(287 **should be 91 as I mentioned above**): error C2660: 'GetText' : function does not take 3 arguments
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========


So, basically, I have no idea how to fix this (I'm still quite new to programming) and would GREATLY appreciate any tips, advice, or fixes to this error. If there's any questions, or you need me to clarify something, please post, I will be more than happy to assist you with assisting me :)

Thanks.

on line 19, you declare GetText() to take 4 arguments, but on line 91, you only pass 3.
