Menu File Format for Game Development Toolkit

Hello Garagegames!

I'm writing a 2D engine, the "PFEngine", and I have recently run into a road block.

I'm creating the Menu Editor tool, and I need to decide on a good file format for creating and interpreting the Main Menu the user creates.

Basically what I want is a system where I can easily create an algorithm to get the menus and submenus out of the file, the options functions and to be able to store all these in variables.

This is very easy to do, but I want the coolest, neatest, most optimized file format that I can do. Because, well, you know, Open Source.

So Garagegames Programmers, I would like some help.

Heres my main Idea so far:

Menu.txt:
Menu1Title
option1
function1
option2
function3
option3
function3
END
Menu2Title
option1
function1
option2
function3
option3
function3
END
EOF

CMenu.cpp:

CMenu::CMenu()
{
File.open("Menu.txt");

(Basically create the loop, store what the variables do and sort out they're functions with a switch statement)

File.close();
}

So, basically what would be cool is for someone to strut their stuff and show me a better way to do the format and a better algorithm.

Oh, and if this is stupid, flame me. I honestly think this post isn't idiotic, but if it is, please state so.
