\nuse strict;<\/p>\n

my $inputFile = \"test.properties\";<\/p>\n

#############################################
\n# Get the variables passed from property file
\n#############################################
\nmy @parmList = &read_parameters;<\/p>\n

##############################################################
\n# populate hash map
\n##############################################################
\n%parameters = @parmList;<\/p>\n

#print the property1 value from test.properties
\nprint \"$parameters{\"property1\"}\"\\n\"<\/p>\n

\nsub read_parameters {<\/p>\n

# my $importFile = $filePath . $inputFile;
\nmy $importFile = $inputFile;
\nmy $parameterName = '';
\nmy $parameterValue = '';<\/p>\n

# open the file and read the contents into an array
\nopen(DATA, \"<$importFile\") or die \"\\n\\nUnable to open input file: $!\\n\\n\";\nmy @parmListTemp = ;
\nclose(DATA);<\/p>\n

my @parmList = ();<\/p>\n

foreach my $row (@parmListTemp){

# get parameters and their values and put into an array
\n($parameterName, $parameterValue) = split(\/=\/, $row);<\/p>\n

if($debugLevel >= 3) {print \"\\n\\n Parameter $parameterName value is $parameterValue\"; };<\/p>\n

push(@parmList, $parameterName);
