In C++ how can I declare an array of strings? I tried to declare it as an array of char but that was not correct.

#include <string>
std::string my_strings[100];
That is C++, using the STL. In C, you would do it like this:
char * my_strings[100];
This reads as "my strings is an array of 100 pointer to char", and the latter is how strings are represented in C.

I would rather recommend using a vector of strings in almost every case:
#include <string>
#include <vector>
std::vector<std::string> strings;

Conventional single string:
char foo[100] // foo is a 100 character string
What you need is probably:
char foobar[100][100] // foobar is a 100 member array of 100 character strings
