DaniWeb IT Discussion Community - two array comparison

I want to search a name in my doubly linkedlist and remove it.
I used strcmp(string1/string2) to see if the data part of the current node is the same as the data im looking for or not.but it didnt work.
what can i do?

class node {

 friend class linklist;

 char name[10];

 node *nxt;

 node *prev;

 void remove(char nam[]){

  node *ptr;

  ptr=head;

  if(head == NULL){//the list is empty

   cout<<"the list is empty"<<endl;

   }

  else{

   while(ptr !=NULL )//till it hasnt got to the end and didnt find the number

    { if(strcmp(ptr ->name/ nam)!=0) {ptr=ptr ->nxt;}}

    if(ptr ==NULL)//it means that the number  is not in the list

    {cout<<"the name is not in the list to remove."<<endl;}

   else if(ptr != NULL)// it means that the number is found

     { if(head == ptr) //if removing head node

     {  if(head == tail){//if there is only one node in the list

         head=NULL;

         delete(ptr);

         }

        else{ head=head -> nxt;

         head -> prev = NULL;

         delete(ptr);}

      }

      else if(tail == ptr)

       { // if removing tail node

        tail = tail->prev;

        tail->nxt = NULL;

        delete(ptr);

      }

       else {

        // if removing in the middle

        ptr->prev->nxt = ptr->nxt;

        ptr->nxt->prev = ptr->prev;

        delete(ptr);

        }

     }

    }

  }
