I'm sure people will flame me for this, so wait
while I put on my
<suit="flame proof">
You can use strtok(), but even the man page
tells you not to. It all depends on how robust
you want your functionality to be and what kind of
features you wish to implement. I use it
successfully in on of my programs right now.
Read a line from the file, strtok the results
using ':' as a separator, and you're all set.

There are better options, but if you want something
quick and dirty, without having to get into text
parsing, this will work.
