What is wrong with my code? "no match for 'operator>>' error.

Ilithiya (21)
Here is the error message I keep getting:
p2.cpp: In function `void outputResults(std::ifstream&, int&, int&, std::string**)':
p2.cpp:88: error: no match for 'operator>>' in 'std::cout >> "Filename: "'
p2.cpp:89: error: no match for 'operator>>' in 'std::cout >> "Number of lines: "'
p2.cpp:90: error: no match for 'operator>>' in 'std::cout >> "Number of characters: "'
p2.cpp:91: error: no match for 'operator>>' in 'std::cout >> "Words: "'
p2.cpp:91: error: expected primary-expression before ']' token

At first the error message said "p2.cpp: In function `void outputResults(std::ifstream&, int&, int&, std::string*)'"
I thought it was because I originally didn't have an "*" after the word "string", but now that I added the "*", it added 2 "*"'s to the error message. Gah! What am I doing wrong!?!

ofstream needs << not >>. They are simply going the wrong way.

OMG really? I had it like that originally but then for some reason I changed it thinking it was wrong. UGH! Thank you!

Now it's giving me this output error:
p2.cpp: In function `void outputResults(std::string&, int&, int&, std::string**)':
p2.cpp:91: error: expected primary-expression before ']' token

Notice it says "std::string**" with 2 "*"s, originally it said
p2.cpp: In function `void outputResults(std::string&, int&, int&, std::string**)':
p2.cpp:91: error: expected primary-expression before ']' token
with only 1 "*". So what else am I missing? Here is my updated function code.

Declaration:
void outputResults(string&, int&, int&, string[]);

Definition:
void outputResults(std::string &filename, int &countLines, int &countChars, std::string* words[])

Notice any difference?

Nevermind i figured it out the delcaration & definition are fine, when it came to the function of "outputResults" I had to change the definite to (string &filename, int &countlines, int &countchars, string words[]) then within the function had brackets when i went to output "words" so instead of "words[]" it was supposed to be "words" ugh stupid me making stupid mistakes.
