Create an array of pointers, read in each line, make a copy of the line and
place it's address in the array.
At the end, n is the number of lines stored:

#define MAX 100
char *array[MAX];

char line[100];
FILE *fp = fopen("myfile", "r");
int n=0;

while (n<MAX && fgets(line, sizeof(line), fp))
   array[n++] = strdup(line);
