Reading line by line in c++

Hi..!!
I was creating a program but now i am stuck. Please help me.
I want to read from .txt file.
Contents of txt file :-
1)number- no. of lines
2)line 1
3)line 2
and so on

I want to read this file line by line and save in string str[n]
First line will give me integer value n;
then rest of lines should be stored in str[1],str[2] and so on..

I tried to do this using null character but not working.
Please help me.

 

char *mystring[];
mystring = new char[][n];

Not sure if that works, try it. I know without [] it will work thou.

Peace,

Does not seem to be C++ syntax.
