Do people actually have interviews where they're required to read in a file? I would figure in this world, especially where most of our information is from a database, this type of code is either abstracted away or written in one or two places. In the interviews I've been in, none of them required that I load information from a file, usually I only wrote the function that did the real (algorithmic) work. Only one of them required me to write code that compiled; and that was a SQL question. Even TopCoder doesn't require you to "read a file full of numbers"
