I've been trying to import price levels into a study and I have been unsuccessful in finding any code snippets.

A couple searches on the SierraCharts website point to cstdio as a reference, but I'm new enough at C++ that I'm having some issues.

Does anybody have any ACSIL code that they can share to point me in the right direction?

check this, add manually . ACSIL does not have the programming format.

The file format is fairly straight forward.. about 20 rows (each an entry price level) and 3 columns (entry price, stop loss, target price).

Thus far I've been using SCs Spreadsheet functionality (just copy/pasting the file in) and its been working well. However, I want to expand on this functionality and control specific orders (move a target/stop).

There is a built in study that I can add that allows you to manage an orders, however will not allow you to pick a specific order and move a target/stop. Thats why I felt moving everything to C++ would allow more granular control once the orders were in play.

Ran across this today, not sure if it will help you. You can import levels from a server.
