Did you mean to use strcmp?

.New[t]=Serial.read();

You can't input a whole string with a single read.

immm i can only read one letter
but i need to read two letters how can i do this

'New' is an array of character pointers each initialized to point to a character string "0". To change that '0' to the character read from Serial.read() you have to go through the character pointer with the '*' operator:

*(New[t])=(char)Serial.read();

It is generally not a good idea to write into character string constants.

To read two characters:

char* New[]={"00","00","00","00","00","00"};

   while(Serial.available()<2);  // Make sure two bytes are available
   Serial.readBytes(New[t], 2);  // Read two bytes
