There's no such thing as strcpy_y, at least not in Standard C++.

Perhaps you meant strcpy_s from WINAPI?

If strcpy_y is a function you have created yourself, then you need to #include the file where it is declared.

Why use raw C-style strings in the first place? Just use std::string allocated as a locat variable and all these problems go away. Use operator= to copy the strings.

I think that it can be help you: #include <string.h>

But I don't recommended use strcpy_y in your code, because it's not C++.

The compiler doesn't know what strcpy_y is because you haven't declared it anywhere prior to that line in the current translation unit.

Either provide the declaration for strcpy_y (e.g. #include a relevant header, or forward declare it), or fix the typo if you meant to call some other function.
