Use strchr() to find the space:
char* pos = strchr(str, " ");

I managed to get it working with comparing:

if (!strncmp (msg,"/panelty",8))

strncpy can copy characters from a string, but how can i manage to copy character 9 to 20 in the string ?

Like this:
strncpy(buffer, (str + 9), 11);
Adding 9 to str2 makes the pointer you pass to strncpy 9 point literally to str2 + 9 elements.

Example:

char buffer[4] = {0};
const char* str = "Hello, world!";

strncpy(buffer, str + 9, 4);

Instead of "Hello, world!", strncpy would get "rld!".
