Sorry, I don't know exactly what you mean.
Anyway, you can use file_open_write/file_open_read to get text-based files.
You can read strings by file_str_read. file_str_read reads the string until a "," is be found. Then you have to use file_str_read again and read the next string.
This way I had programmed an online level database.
I hope that I could help you.
