std::string sBannerLine1[11]

sBannerLine1[11]=
{
 "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_"
};

sBannerLine1[11] is accessing the 12:th element in the array. The array only has 11 elements so that is a problem.

Even if you remove [11] it would still not work because arrays can unfortunately not be assigned. If you want to assign like this you could use a std::array instead.

#include <array>
#include <string>

int main()
{
	std::array<std::string, 11> sBannerLine1;

	sBannerLine1 =
	{
		"_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_"
	};
}

Given that you left out the semi-colon in line 1, I think you were trying to do:

std::string sBannerLine1[] = 
{
 "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_", "_"
};


However, if this isn't what you intended, @Peter87 has given one of the proper ways of going about "assigning to arrays".
