An array-of-string is not a string. You need to count the line numbers
as you read them in, and assign into each component separately.
By the way, type String is a pain, because each String is fixed length.
And you can't have an array of different-length Strings. Your program
will be more flexible and easier to write if you use an Unbounded_String
instead.
