    Serialization

    I want to simply save a list of variables to "preset" files and be able to retrieve them whenever I choose this preset. I'm not sure exactly how to do this. Can anyone help me get started this?

    What exactly are you having problems with? Is it the file I/O part?

    What you do is write your information to a file and then read that information whenever you need it. Read up about <fstream>.
