reading in properties file
Hi
Am new to this scripting stuff so bear with me.
I got a script made now that reads in a properties file. The properties file is in the following format:
256= Bos, Sea, FRa
128= HEL
I want to be able to read in each line of the file and split out the letter fields by the numbered field. This way I can compare the lettered field to another value I have thus I will know which corrisponding number to set. Basically have a script now which starts up a worker and I need to know which number to set for each individual branch. Hope this makes sense. thanks

Well, if you first write a display all, you can 'grep' that down to see on by either # or letters.

128= HEL
