I am using the other DarkGDK.NET and faced the same problem. My data consisted of X/Y pairs such as;

PTDATA:
DATA 123.45, 678.90

What I did was cut and paste all of my data to a textfile using NOTEPAD and then did a search and replace until the data looked like:

123.45, 678.90
.
.

etc.

Then I saved it as "datapnts.txt"

I then used the following code in VB to read the file to an array:

+ Code Snippet

Dim x1 As Double
Dim y1 As Double
path = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath.ToString
DarkGDK.IO.File.SetCurrentDirectory(path + "\data\")
Dim TempFile As DarkGDK.IO.File
TempFile = New DarkGDK.IO.File.OpenToRead("datapnts.txt")
Do While TempFile.IsEOF = False
     TempFile.ReadFloat, x1
     TempFile.ReadFloat, y1
     pathpts(I).x = x1
     pathpts(I).y = y1
Loop
TempFile.close()

if using c/c++ you could just load the values into a array something like

int datavals[] = {12,2,34,45}; //datavals represents your data: line
rr = datavals[2] ; // read the 3rd element

or you could use a variable in place of the number, set the var back to 0 when you need and you've got your 'restore'
