reading data from .ini file
Hi,

I have a sample data file that contains name-value pairs in it.

For example:
name1=value1
name2=value2
name3=value3
...
...
...

My concern is
1. How to get values of name1, name2, name3 using korn shell script?
2. I don't want to access each varible using $name1,$name2, $name3 but something in the form a list so that when i use for loop i can retrive those values.

Thanks for you help.
