C/C++ :: How To Put A Line Of Text File Into Array For Encryption (AES)

I am writing a program for AES Encryption which is all but done as far as that the program encrypts the text and prints the encrypted text in the command prompt:

void main() {
int a;
unsigned char CipherKey[16] = {0x2B, 0x7E, 0x15, 0x16, 0x28, 0xAE, 0xD2, 0xA6, 0xAB, 0xF7, 0x15, 0x88, 0x09, 0xCF, 0x4F, 0x3C};
unsigned char PlainText[16] = {0x32, 0x43, 0xF6, 0xA8, 0x88, 0x5A, 0x30, 0x8D, 0x31, 0x31, 0x98, 0xA2, 0xE0, 0x37, 0x07, 0x34};
for(a=0;a<16;a++)

[Code] ....

Encrypted text output on command prompt = 39 25 84 1d 02 dc 09 fb dc 11 85 97 19 6a 0b 32

However, my project asks to "read blocks of data from a data file". Therefore I need to alter the main function to read the following arrays from a data file.

Unsigned char CipherKey[16] = {0x2B, 0x7E, 0x15, 0x16, 0x28, 0xAE, 0xD2, 0xA6, 0xAB, 0xF7, 0x15, 0x88, 0x09, 0xCF, 0x4F, 0x3C};
unsigned char PlainText[16] = {0x32, 0x43, 0xF6, 0xA8, 0x88, 0x5A, 0x30, 0x8D, 0x31, 0x31, 0x98, 0xA2, 0xE0, 0x37, 0x07, 0x34};


Firstly, I don't know how to take each individual part in the data file to store into each byte in the array i.e. 0x2B into CipherKey[0] of the array.

Secondly, How do I deal with the fact that each byte is in hexidecimal? How should my data file look?

this is what my data file Input.dat looks like at the minute:

0x2B, 0x7E, 0x15, 0x16, 0x28, 0xAE, 0xD2, 0xA6, 0xAB, 0xF7, 0x15, 0x88, 0x09, 0xCF, 0x4F, 0x3C
0x32, 0x43, 0xF6, 0xA8, 0x88, 0x5A, 0x30, 0x8D, 0x31, 0x31, 0x98, 0xA2, 0xE0, 0x37, 0x07, 0x34

The first line being the CipherKey array and the second being PlainText. I'm not sure if the '0x' or the commas are required.

I basically want to take the data from a file, store them in arrays in the program itself, encrypt the Input array PlainText and create a new file with the encrypted output array stored in it (I will deal with this part of the program after I get the input file done first).
