Use getline() to read lines from the file to a string. Split each line using ':' as the separator. Use an appropriate STL container to store the values.

Thanks for the reply.
I solved this problem. I extracted the lines 1 by 1 using fgets() and used sscanf() to store the values from line in a 2-D array.
