strncpy does string copy (cpy = copy)

if you want to compare strings do strncmp (cmp = compare)

if you want to find a substring do strstr

More importantly, you're using C++'s std::string class so you should avoid functions like strcpy and strcmp entirely. Instead of using strcpy, use the assignment operator (str1 = str2) and instead of strcmp, use the equality operator (if (str1 == str2)).

I strongly recommend using std::string instead of C-style strings where possible - you'll significantly reduce the likelihood of errors and you'll waste less time writing repetitive code.

What should I use from the C++ std::string if I would like a program to find a string from a string

for an example:

user types in a sentance hello my name is john
program looks if user said hello and if he did it says hello john
