Here's what I recommend:
1) Give us the precise values of w1, w2, w3, k1, xf, yf, xof, yof, xm,
ym, delay, and glength had at the time you printed them out.
2) Show us what the resulting file looked like. Since you're using
formatted I/O (fprintf()) rather than unformatted I/O (fwrite()), the
result will be ordinary text, so it can easily be displayed.
3) Looking at the file, try to figure out how fscanf() should figure out
where each number starts and ends.

Step 3 will either produce a revelation, or a lot of questions. We'll be
glad to answer those questions. There's several different solutions to
your problem, but it will be best to discuss them after you understand
better what the problem is.
