Hello,

Sorry for my very poor english !
I want to realize an input file for a Mathematica program, which has the form :
-------
datafile1="toto.dat"

datafile2="toto2.dat"

parameter1=10

parameter2=0.05
-----
For this time, I use an input file like :
-----
"toto.dat"
"toto2.dat"
10
0.05
-----
In reality, the input file contains 35 data files, and 92 parameters.
But, when a person want to read or modify the input file, he doesn't 
know which parameter he changes ! This is only a list of number and 
string !

So, how to import in Mathematica the lign, datafile1="toto.dat" or 
parameter1=10, and keep only the information "toto.dat" or 10 in a 
variable of the main program.

Anybody knows how to do ?

Thanks a lot.

Christophe.
