Not able to do char* to char**

That will always be 255

@The_Specialist

sizeof(line)

You want to call strlen() which will be the actual length of the text in the line (including the carriage return)

Also there is probably no need for

memset(line, 0, sizeof line);//clear array

If you want to reset the cString, just put a null char in the first byte

line[0] = '\0';
