Dump the textfile idea and use XML instead, which is far better suited for
stuff like menu's.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<menu>
<item label="about us" />
<item label="news" />
<item label="portfolio">
<sub label="branding" />
<sub label="interactives" />
<sub label="marks" />
</item>
</menu>
