Well, you can use the very basics of FILE IO, or you can make it fancy, but to keep it simple you can do it like the following:

FILE * fpInput;
fpInput = fopen ("", "w");

fscanf (fpInput, "<format specifier>", var1, var2);

fclose (fpInput);

The format specifier in this case will change depending on what part of the file you want to read. To handle the first portion of the file you will probably want to have a character, lets say char sInput[30], that takes character data. for int''s, let say iInput.

fscanf (fpInput, "%[^\n]\n", sInput);
fscanf (fpInput, "%d\n", iInput);

the \n at the end will tell scanf to "skip" past that on each line so it may proceed to the next and starts right at the beginning of the next line.

Hopefully this helps you out and the little examples I posted actually work

Since you are using C++, you could use file streams.

  #include <fstream.h>#include <iostream.h>int main() {	char buf[100];	bool found=false;	int values[5];	fstream in("levelfile.txt");	while(in.getline(buf,100)) {		if(strcmp(buf,"Level1")) {			found=true;			break;		}	}	if(found) {		for(int i=0;i<5;i++) {			in >> values[i];		}		for(int i=0;i<5;i++) {			cout << values[i] << endl;		}	}	return 0;}
