Hi Monks, I am stuck up with an issue. I have a variable $path which has the path to a file, say /usr/hello.txt Now /usr/hello.txt file has path to other files. Example: The contents of /usr/hello.txt is as follows 
view_cfg_dir = /usr/TextPass/cfg/
url = http://localhost/tpx
user = statview
pwd_md5 = 93211cdee930eb4e1f7d36558a361145

[download]
Now there is another file in

/usr/TextPass/cfg/

namely export.cfg whose contents are as below 
pid = /var/hello/pid

report_cfg    = /var/_export/config
report_tmp    = /var/_export/tmp

[download]
I want the value of report_cfg to be stored in a variable. How do I implement this functionality. Your help is highly appreciated.
