Hello Monks , I have this problem that I need your help with : I am reading a config file that contain the following : 

[version]
2004

[type]
update

[scripts]
scripts_file1
scripts_file2


inside my scripts_file# , I have something like this :

#scripts_file1
#DO update
./script1
./script2

in the other script I have 
#scripts_file2
#Do delete
./script21

[download]
what I am trying to do is read the config file and find out the type which is "update" in this case .Then read the scripts section and findout which file contain the update type , in this case it is scripts_file1. So my script that is reading the config file will only run scripts_file1 and not scripts_file2. I hope this is clear , if not I can try to clear it more . thanks for the help.
