How can I read a string value from a text file and assign it to a variable?

Unfortunately Avisynth script can't accept parameters, as far as I know. Currently I try to use environment variables, and a plugin from stickyboy, to make my script more flexible by parameterizing some variables. It would be better and more flexible to read the value(s) from a text file. This is a quite simple task in every programming language, but seems impossible in avisynth. Is it possible? How can I do that?

I found command "conditionalreader", but as far as I can tell, the variable can be used only in "scriptclip" calls.
