There is no standard way to read it. You first have to determine the file format -- and that depends on what program created it. After you know the format then create a std::ifstream object to open and read it. There are literally millions of ways to read it, so there is no one right answer.

Without knowing the name of the program which created the DAT file, it's hard to make suggestions.
Lot's of programs use .dat for their internal data storage. It could be anything.
