Read in from a file with specific syntax …

[toton]

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review my problem. I’m trying to read in from a file which has specific syntax (shown below) and recognize part1 and part2. It should compare part1 with an internal value to be returned from later code. In short:
The file will consist of the following:
 
part1:part2
etc…
 
I need to read each line and recognize part1 as a variable and part2 as a variable (seperated by the colon, which is to be ignored). If I can get that working, I have the rest sorted out (i think). All feedback is greatly appreciated!!

Heres an old program that I have that reads an int then a float on each line:
 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
