IoT Based Patient Health Monitoring System using ESP8266 and Arduino

I am working on IoT Based Patient Health Monitoring System using ESP8266 and Arduino and I got an error that 

warning: ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to 'char*' [-Wwrite-strings]

   if(esp8266.find(">"))

                      ^

exit status 1

'class Timer' has no member named 'every'

So i changed the string to char but got error 

request for member 'length' in 'cmd', which is of non-class type 'char'
