yes it's possible to print a string to the console.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
string strMytestString("hello world");
cout << strMytestString;
return 0;
}
stdafx.h isn't pertinent to the solution, everything else is.
