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.
