Reading Writting a Graphics File

[Cenobitez]

I was bored and decided in all my usual wizdom that i would make a lil program that made Emotions, basicly the file format holds the text to chang IE and it holds a 16x16 BMP that it will change into any time it occurs, the spec for this file is

<1 byte string - text to replace with icon>
<4 byte string - 16x16 BMP emoticon graphic>

but i have no idea how to do that in code, im sure its something really simple, i have enclosed a few of the finished Emotes from the guy that wrote the fomat...

Anyone have a clue where to start on pulling existing emotes apart and putting new ones together, so far all i have been able to do it pull the BMP out, but not the text...

Any idea's or help be great
