If you want a fixed size array - declare the member as an array.
std::string items[100];
items[0] = "zero";
items[1] = "one";
items[2] = "two";
If the length must be variable, use a vector.
vector - C++ Reference[
^]
#include <vector>
std::vector<std::string> items;
items.push_back("zero");
items.push_back("one");
items.push_back("two");
