Convert String Array To Char Array

I have an array of Strings, one on each line and I need to convert them into an array of char's.

For Example:

This
is
an
Example
of
what
my
input
is.

In order to accomplish that I did the following-

String[] lotsOfText = a.gettingAnArrayAsAReturn();
char [][] myCharArray = new char [lotsOfText.length] [lotsOfText.length];
for(int i=0; i<lotsOfText.length; i++){
for(int j=0;j<lotsOfText[i].length();j++){
myCharArray[i][j] = lotsOfText[j].charAt(j); }}

But whenever I try this and then try to print the output :

for (int i = 0; i < lotsOfText.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < lotsOfText[i].length(); j++) {
System.out.print(myCharArray[i][j]);
}
}

I get nothing. I'm not sure what's the flaw in my logic, is it the char array initialization that's wrong or is it something else ?
