I would suggest that you start using standard types such as std::string, and not cocos2d::String. Also, for arrays, you can use std::vector.

std::vector allows you to add objects of a certain type including duplicates.

std::vector<std::string> stringVector;
stringVector.push_back("my string");

There are multiple ways to construct/initialise/use std::string and std::vector objects, but you can easily find information about this all over the internet or in the documentation links I've provided above.
