```julia
julia> t = String[]
String[]

julia> push!(t,"a string")
1-element Array{String,1}:
 "a string"

julia> t
1-element Array{String,1}:
 "a string"

```

Another way

```julia
julia> w = Vector{String}()
String[]

julia> push!(w,"another string")
1-element Array{String,1}:
 "another string"

julia> w
1-element Array{String,1}:
 "another string"

```
