One issue you have is cha[6] = 'Dieck'

cha[6] is a single character such as 'D' or 'i' but not the whole thing. Also = sets cha[6] equal to 'Dieck' which can't happen because 'Dieck' is not a valid character. To compare them you'd need == but you can only compare one character at a time like cha[0] == 'D'

Really you should make your input a string, and use the compare() method of the string.

std::string input;
// stuff
cin >> input;

if (input.compare("Dieck") == 0)
{
   // more stuff
}
