Let's say I am parsing a file with a list of parameters followed by an
equal sign, and their corresponding values, eg:
color=green
shape=circle
and I want to use this information to create a variable called color with
the value 'green' and a variable shape with the value 'circle'. However, I
also want my code to be able to do this *when it doesn't know up front what
the parameter names will be. *So, if the file also included "age=7", it
should still make a variable called age with the value '7', even though
'age' doesn't specifically appear anywhere in my code. Is there a way to
do this?
Thank you,
April
