You don't have the "file in the C program". You might have the file, and need to write a C program to load the file and do something with the data in it, though. Your program will be a separate file. — unwind

Is the same data in the same place on each line? I.e. each line looks like this: string double double double double int int ? Additionally, do you want just one big array of doubles without context of what line they came from, or do you need to be able to relate doubles to strings, int's to doubles, etc? This question is almost ambiguous enough to be closed. — user50049

Split up your problem into sub-tasks:

Open the file using fopen
Allocate a buffer (array) to store the doubles
Create a loop while there is more to read
read in a single double into the array
Go to the next iteration
