What programming language are you using? What OS? It seems to me that if
you still need to learn how to read/write data to a file, tile based
programming should not be your first concern. I suggest you get a good
book on the basics of whatever language you are using and read and
understand it before you try to tackle the rather complex problem of
game programming.
