Of course it depends on what you choose as a suitable string. For instance C-like strings are simply (NULL-terminated) character arrays, hence you can do something like:
char ** myStringArray;
myStringArray = new char * [3];
myStringArray[0] = "hello world";
myStringArray[1] = new char[10];
memset(myStringArray[1], '*',9);
myStringArray[1][9]='\0';
myStringArray[2] = strdup("Hi");
//Clean-up
delete [] myStringArray[1];
free (myStringArray[2]);
delete [] myStringArray;
On the other hand, MFC CString or std::string are objects controlling themselves the inner character buffer, therefore you can do, for instance:
CString * myStringArray;
myStringArray = new CString[2];
myStringArray[0]="Hello World";
myStringArray[0] += "!";// note CString dynamically controls its buffer
myStringArray[1]=CString('*',9);
// Clean-Up
delete [] myStringArray;
Hope that helps :)
