Here's a guide:

• Use Pascal-Script in the [code] section
• Work with LoadStringsFromFile() (http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=isxfunc_loadstringsfromfile) to get the file content.
• Iterate over the lines using a for loop
• Use Pos() (http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/topic_isxfunc_pos.htm) to find the position of the = sign
• Use Copy() (http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/topic_isxfunc_copy.htm) extract key and value from the current line using the position of =
