What is an array of lines? Probably your line is a character array, so finally you will end up with a three-dimensional character array (18 lines each say 40 characters maximum times 10 columns). But then I do not understand what you call your cell...

If each element of your array is to be a string with a fixed maximum length, you can define it as a 3-dimensional array:

#define MAX_LENGTH 7

char stabMeasures[18][10][MAX_LENGTH + 1];  // add 1 for the trailing null

If the elements will be different lengths, you can use dynamic allocation:

char* stabMeasures[18][10];

stabMeasures[0][0] = malloc(16 * sizeof(char));
sprintf(stabMeasures[0][0], "Element 0, 0");
stabMeasures[0][1] = malloc(24 * sizeof(char));
sprintf(stabMeasures[0][1], "Longer element 0, 1");
...
...
free(stabMeasures[0][0]);
free(stabMeasures[0][1]);
