Deserializing Given Text File Into JSON
Good evening,
I've spent weeks trying to get the data out of this text file into a proper set of variables to use within my program. So far i've no luck, and my best attempt was to manually read and parse every individual line with a tedious set of boolean checks.
Any possible ways I could better parse this file?
