Assuming you're using an explicit size variable to store the number of strings:

int i;

for ( i = 0; i < n; i++ )
  printf ( "%s\n", pOutData[i] );

A common alternative is using a null pointer as a sentinel. In that case, it would look like this:

char **p = pOutData;

while ( *p != NULL )
  printf ( "%s\n", *p++ );
