The best choice would probably be to convert it to JSON (which it already looks a bit like) or XML. That is a one time action so once you have done that it becomes fairly easy to perform future updates.

i was thinking xml but the issue being i have to save it out to be tottaly diffent type like form xml to file type called gdt not sure if thats possible or not and if i was to go about doing it xml way how could i format it ?

Then I guess you need to write a program that can read and write gdt file types (whatever they may be).

gdt is the file i posted thats its format its just short for gamedatatable and the text i posted is the contence of that file

OK, so you know the format of the data you now need to figure out how to read that into a manageable format in your program. Or, you could try Google to see if there is a library already written to help you.
