Looping through a file, use ReadLine (part of the FSO), and just take your value and try to SPLIT() it based on some sort of delimiter. A "=" might not be a good delimiter though because then that excludes you from using it in your text (unless you want to hard code that there's only ever going to be 2 elements in this array - the param/value).
