Program reading files

I want to know if it is possible to make a program read multiple lines and set multiple variables.
Ex:

Spoiler

Line 1:Read This line and set variable x
Line 2:Read this line and set variable y

If you're looking to make a configuration file there was a post 3 days ago that addressed the same issue. TheOriginalBIT has an API called ccConfig in his thread here.

If you want to work on one yourself look at the FS API. You would open the file for reading, then read in each line at a time. Then use some kind of string parsing to separate the name from the value.

Found out how just a few days ago.

Pie = fs.open( "lol", "r" )
Pie.readLine(1)
Pie.readLine(2)
