What exactly about arrays confuses you?
Here is a tutorial from this site. http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson8.html

Here is a refernce for FILE i/o
http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/cstdio/feof.html

Code:

  FILE * pFile = NULL;
  long n = 0;
  pFile = fopen ("myfile.txt","wt");  //write in text mode
  if (pFile==NULL)
 {
     printf("Error with myfile.txt");
  }
  else
  {
      fprintf(pFile, "%d %d %d",var1,var2,var3); //this will write 3 vars to the text file
  }
  fclose (pFile);
  }
  return 0;

To read in the text file you would open the file for reading +text "rt", and use fscanf.

here are my varsh.h #ifndef game1_H
#define game1_H

char class1[3]; // Used in Class Selection
char name[10]; // Used in the Name selection and storage
char answr;// used in yes or no questions.
int armor,hp,attack;



void charsel(); // Function prototype for Character select.
void begin();
void namesel();
void game();
void adv1();


#endif
