Read values from file

[Affected1]

So i have this .dat file:

############################################
# fonts.dat                                #
# stores the proportional values for fonts #
############################################

and this code to read the file and remove comment lines:

int main()
{
	FILE *file;
	file = fopen("fonts.dat", "rb");
	if (file == NULL)
		return 1;

	char readLineBuffer[200];
	
	if(readLineBuffer == NULL) { return 1; }
	if(readLineBuffer == 0) { return 1; }

	while (fgets(readLineBuffer, 200, file) != NULL)
	{
		readLineBuffer[strcspn(readLineBuffer, "\n")] = '\0';
		//if (readLineBuffer[0] == '\0' || readLineBuffer[0] == '#') {continue;}
		for(int i=0; readLineBuffer[i]!=00; i++)
		{
			if (readLineBuffer[i]=='#')
			{
				readLineBuffer[i] = 00;
				break;
			}
		}
		puts(readLineBuffer);
	}

	fclose(file);

	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

how can i read values like [FONT_ID] and save them to some variable in code?

Think it as state machine.

You read a line.
If you have a flag set, store the line accordingly and clear the flag.
else if the line equals token, then set appropriate flag.

Could you show an example code?
