if statement - Comparison with string literal C++ -

i'm writing function program allows student copy template text file. function checks user's input see if desired template allowed class.

i'm getting error "comparison string literal results in unspecified behavior" on lines 21 , 25. have done "cout << name" verify variable storing correctly, is, know that's not problem.

#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <fstream> using namespace std;  //template check //first check see if student allowed use template int templatecheck() {     //declare file name variable     char name[256];      //prompt user input     cout << "enter file name: ";      //cin user input     cin >> name;      //begin check     //cs221 first template can't use     if(name == "/home/cs221temp.txt")         cout << "you not allowed use cs221 templates./n";          //cs 321 other template can't use         else if (name == "/home/cs321temp.txt")         cout << "you not allowed use cs321 templates./n";          //any others okay (i commented these out since i'm working on function itself)         //else          //copytemplate();          return 0; } 

this statement

if(name == "/home/cs221temp.txt") 

compares pointers being equal (which unlikely), not contents.
want

if(strncmp(name,"/home/cs221temp.txt",256) == 0) 

or

std::string name; 

in function.
