   When you say 'a file ... that contains a variable', did you mean that   
   the NAME of the file contains the variable, or did you mean that the   
   variable is to be looked for within the CONTENT of said file?   
      
   At the time when the user enters the variable, is the file that we're   
   looking for (either searching its name or its content) in the current   
   directory or somewhere else?
