Hi,
1. I need to read a configuration file of name/value pairs and be able to
retrieve 'values of names'
An eg. format of configuration file is
DIR=d:\test
ACTION=BUY
ERROR=2345
ACTION=SELL
I want to write a subroutine to retrive the value d:\test with an input
string 'DIR' say
eg. get_value('DIR') should return d:\test
eg. get_value('ERROR') should return 2345
2. It sould also check for duplicate 'names' (ie more than one)
eg. get_value('ACTION') should return an error cos the name ACTION appears
more than once in the config file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
