Why can't I send a string message through my program?

edit

Currently I am trying to build a simple node where I send a string using the std_msgs::String.h message class. What I do understand is, why I get these particular errors.

##Code ##

Includes:

// NORMAL INCLUDES 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

// ROS INCLUDES 
#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <std_msgs/String.h>

Declaration:

ros::Publisher command;
command = node.advertise<std_msgs::String>("/command", 1);

While loop:

while (ros::ok()) { 

    std::cout << std::endl << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Type your Command Below:" << std::endl << std::endl; 
    getline(std::cin, input);

    command.publish(input); 

}

String,msg ## Link is here

string data

Since they are the same type looking at String.h, I do not understand why I am getting this error.
