There are many different approaches available to handle this. Beside those
Adrian and Paul told you, you could for example read in and write out your
data also in a tab delimited format, as most spreadsheets and databases
would also support. Instead you could also write out and read in your data
in a well formed XML format etc. etc.

However, as Paul said, the easiest would really be to make use of Java's
Properties class to handle this and in case you don't like to have those
".properties" extensions, take one of those java based INI read/write file
examples and set it up in a way to work on your ".txt" extension. As an
example see:

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/9851/INIFiles.html

...and so on...

You can find a lot of similar and even more advanced such java based  INI
read/write examples on the internet.
