How to compare 2 strings -

Hi!
I have a memory block where are many strings, but I cant compare them with a constant string!
Example:
"if" statement is using sizeof() and its not using strlen()
Is there some functions or do I need to make a for loop (which is slow) for checking the data?
Code:
	char*pMem2="My Compare Text\0dsdfsdfsd";
	char*Name2="My Compare Text";
	if (pMem2 == Name2){
		return 1;
	}
	return 0;
