Thread: assignment from incompatible pointer type

I think you meant *ptr = myArray[0]; but that's uninitialised memory according to your example, you want *ptr = myArray[1];

char *myArray[] is an array of pointers to characters, so each index is a pointer to a character(s).

Note, myArray ( and hence &myArray[0] ) is wrong because that's an array of pointers to character(s) and hence the name points to the address of a pointer and not the first character.
