Ok, from what I understand, you created a file in VB, and filled it with data. Now, you want a C program to read that file, and do something with the data.

If that is the case, you'll have to look into things like
fopen() - To open the file to read from
fread() - To read from the file
atoi() - Convert C strings to integers
atof() - Convert C strings to floats
fclose() - To close the file when you are done.

As for the actual parsing of the data, that highly depends on the syntax of your file format. Thus, I can't really go into the specifics.
