help needed to store a string array in the EEPROM

Just write the bytes of each string one at a time to the EEPROM. There is nothing difficult about it.
If you have n characters then you have n / 1024 slots in the EEPROM to store the data. Just look at my RFID sequencer project for a code example but I used only four bytes and had it has a number not a string, this made it more efficient.
