Palette problems

Hello, I am using MS Paint to draw bitmaps for my Euphoria programs but I have found that if I save it as a 256 color bitmap that any colors that I have used that do not fall within those 256 are ruined when I save it. To combat this problem I wrote a program that read the RGB values of the 256 colors used in Euphoria by using get_all_palette so that I could see which ones were available in Paint. I saved the sequences returned by get_palette in a file. Then, I wrote another program in which I could enter the RGB values of the colors that I wanted to use in Paint and it would go through the list of RGB values in the file and look for a match. My problem is that whether I use gets() to read the file or getc() and put the values into a sequence so that I can use match() everything in the sequences in the file is being getted, brackets, commas, and all. All I want is for the RGB values to be read. How would I do this? And am I going about this the long hard route? Is there some fiendishly simple solution that will save my sanity? Thanks, David
