Hello :) for me your method is not good :) Use JSON or Eden format in your external text file. Example JSON = Javascript Object Notation ( http://json.org/ ) JSON is better to parse Array, Object, String, Boolean, Number ... You can use JSON with my openSource framework :

Dump the textfile idea and use XML instead, which is far better suited for stuff like menu's. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 ? menu item label=about us / item label=news / item label=portfolio sub label=branding / sub label=interactives / sub label=marks /

If you're loading data from a file I wouldn't recommend JSON. It's not really readable. JSON is nice for serializing/deserializing data coming from a database or for communicating with for instance Javascript. Not at all for storing data in a text file. Right tool for the job and all that..
