Do you mean to search for the item, or how to know the index of the last item added, or...what?

If you add the subitems directly after you add the item, _GUICtrlListView_AddItem() returns the index of the new item, which can be used for the subitems:

; Add items with 3 columns
For $n = 0 To 5
    $iIndex = _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($hListView, "Item " & $n & " Col 1", 0)
    _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($hListView, $iIndex, "Item " & $n & " Col 2", 1)
    _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($hListView, $iIndex, "Item " & $n & " Col 3", 2)
Next

If that's not what you meant, be more specific.

and one more question , i want to my script to every time when it is opened read items and subitems from a file how can i do this

Look at the INI* functions in the help file.

If you want more complexity, try eltorro's XMLDomWrapper.au3 UDF and do it with an XML.
