Some great info from previous posters led me to a simple answer of my own. Use a char array in the struct, then read it into a string as follows:

here is the struct I speak of:

struct order {
    char MYID[100];
    int ORDERTYPE;
    char DATE_UPDATED[64];
};
order o

here is how i passed the struct into memory:

m_pmap->insert(std::pair(i, (order)o));

now i am able to write a map of structs containing various types including strings, to memory, and retrieve them from memory.
