load config file into table

[Dave Collins <Dave.Collins@...>]

I know this is ultra basic. It's the ultra basic stuff that messes me up.

I want to load a config file into a table. I already know the config file's name ("config.txt"). Do not know the parameters that might be in the file.


I've tried a few samples but they're either too simple or too complex for my purposes and I can't really decipher them.
This has fixed, known param names:

which I do not have.


So, simply:

network = false
flyer_id = 7009 
etc.

gives me a table object.
