is there a way to make an string array

exp
std::string test[255];

Code:
if((File = _findfirst( "image*.txt", &c_file )) == -1L)
     {
      printf("No %s files in current directory!\n");
     
}
   else
   {
    // printf("%s\n", c_file.name);
TextName = c_file.name;

      while( _findnext( File, &c_file ) == 0 )
      {
        // printf("%s\n", c_file.name);
         TextName = c_file.name;
         
      }
      _findclose(File);
   }
What I need to acomplish is load a text file pull the data from that text file then go to the next file.
