Hi, I have a text file that has different data types in one line. for example the first line is string string int and I am searching the file for a certain value of that int. I am not supposed to change the format of the file and also if the value isnt found i am supposed to add the record to the file in the same format. so my question is .. how do i read that line and store each value or string into my own variables ? meaning how do i read different data types in one line from a file ? and then again how do i write to the file later on when i need to add the record ? meaning how do i write different data types in one line to a file ? please help.. ty

Im kind of lost to what it is exactly you are trying to do, Could you rephrase your questions. Meaning: What you are trying to do, along with seperate questions in order. I kind of follow what you are asking but its not that clear.
