Hello all,

I have files of the following formats:
------------------------
Name
Company
day
month
year

job_name time max min flag1 flag2 flag3 flag4 job_name 
job_name time max min flag1 flag2 flag3 flag4 job_name 
job_name time max min flag1 flag2 flag3 flag4 job_name 
------------------------------

Explanation of file format:
---------------------------
flag4 determines how many job the current task depends on.
that is for:

a 12 123 145 0 1 2 3 c v b
                   ^ 
We know that job a depends on three tasks that are: c, v, and b
if we have 
b 13 113 125 0 1 2 0
                   ^
then this job does not depend on any other job.
-----------------------------
My question:
------------
I have a dynamic structure to hold these info. 

It is very important for me to read this file and store the
info in the structure as fast as possible. I have a front end 
graphical interface for this and I need to know how reading/storing 
in structure can be done very fast so that I can save waiting-time 
for the user when having a file containing a lot of job entries.

So for me the main issue is speed (both reading from the file and
writting to the structure).

Any pointers, suggestions/hints are most appreciated.
Thank you.
