Simple script to read preferences from a file and store them into globalState variables

// This script reads a tab delimited file and set globalstate variables to the values written in the file.
// The text file is jsut a TAB delimited file, but I decided to use a different extension (.dfp)
// to be sure that SF read the correct file. Obviously you can change that in the extCheck variable.
// This script looks in the text file for the names that match the switch/case statement, and assign those values to globalstate variables.
// My text file that matches this script look like this:
// 
// boomstrip	1
// radiostrip	1
// fill	1
// toadr	1
// untreated	1
// orig	1 
// edit	1
// 
// This file will set all the variables below (that are set to default state at the beginning of the script) to 1.


var fullPath = decodeURIComponent(sf.appleScript.finder.selection.getItem(0).asItem.path); // get the path and file name of the selected file in finder
var filename = fullPath.split('/').slice(-1)[0];
var extension = filename.split('.').slice(-1)[0];
var extCheck = 'dfp' //extension of the tab delimited file to match
var i
var x

// set defualt values
globalState.boomStripTracks = 4
globalState.radioStripTracks = 6
globalState.fillTracks = 2
globalState.toBeAdrTracks = 6
globalState.untreatedTracks = 8
globalState.origTracks = 4
globalState.editTracks = 4

if (extension != extCheck)   // Check if the text file is .dfp
{
    log('Error', 'Please select a .dfp file');
    throw 0; //exit script now
}

var nameList = sf.file.readLines({
	path: fullPath
}).lines;

for (i = 0; i < nameList.length; i++) {
	var thisLine = nameList[i];
	var lineArray = thisLine.split('\t');
	switch (lineArray[0]) {
		case 'boomstrip':
			globalState.boomStripTracks = parseInt(lineArray[1]);
			break;
		case 'radiostrip':
			globalState.radioStripTracks = parseInt(lineArray[1]);
