Here's an example:
Code:
    acc )

      User=blah
      Password=blah
      Sid=blah
      Client=AuroraChamber
      FinFlag=0

      Filename=""$Client"51."$BegDay"-"$EndDay""
      Filepath=""$WorkPath"/"$Filename""

I want to be able to somehow pull the Client variable out of the acc case entry. The catch is there's multiple case entries, and the Client variable is never the same. My end goal is to dynamically generate a table of case entry calls that correspond to the Client variable. For example:
acc,AuroraChamber
abc,abcClient
...
