Data Reading specific lines from a file using index or keywords
Hello

I want to read from a file which contains email addresses.
The file format is like this.

Code:
[FROM]
from@mail.com
[TO]
to1@mail.com
to2@mail.com
[CC]
cc@mail.com
[BCC]
bcc@mail.com

I'll have to read from such file and assign the email addresses to respective variables.

Code:
frommail = from@mail.com
tomail = to1@mail.com,to2@mail.com
ccmail = cc@mail.com
bccmail = bcc@mail.com

like this.

How can i do it??? cos email addresses are one email per line so it can be dynamic. Any suggestion??

Thanks
Kyaw Lwin Phyo
