If you're always going to expect the same order/variables/naming conventions/etc you can extract the properties of your configuration file easy enough with grep & awk. You could probably use just awk, but, here's the easiest way.

Code:
#properties.prop
CDDIR::input

-----------
#Script
PROP_CDDIR=$(grep CDDIR properties.prop | awk"::" '{print $2}')
cd $PROP_CDDIR

Allows a person to do some very interesting dynamic coding. Smilie
