Loadfile is also not of much help. To do it that way, you'd obviously have to parse the line that you read in order to extract the correct property name. But you'd be much better off either storing this information in XML or using the response file technique suggested by Rod Ayers. The advantage of the XML approach is that it avoids the readonly issue, and it is easier to just automatically update one entry without having to update the entire file. The advantage of the response file approach is that it's easier to understand, read, and get working in the first place.
