Reading txt file into an array of strings

Hello, I've been trying to read a txt file into an array of strings for quite some time. There are a long list of errors but most of them say things similar to "no match for operator>>".

  #include <iostream>
  #include <string>
  #include <fstream> 

int main() 
{ 
  std::string **arr = nullptr; 
  int rows = 0; 
  
  std::string myFile = "data.txt";
  std::ifstream inFile; 
  inFile.open(myFile);
  inFIle >> rows; \\first thing in txt file is number of rows to follow
  
  arr = new std::string*[rows];
  for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
  {
     inFile >> arr[i];
     std::cout<<"\n"<<arr[i];
  }
  for (int i = 0; i < rows; i ++)
  {
     delete[] arr[i];
  }
  delete[] arr; 
  inFile.close();

  return(0);
}
I ended up figuring it out. Here is the correct code that runs.
