I am working on moving hard-coded mappings from my VB.NET code to a database. One set of mappings I am working with right now has 385 entries. So let's say everytime I get "Friday" in my input I want to map it to "F", if I get "Monday" I want to map it to "M", etc. I can edit my code pretty quickly to end up with a file that looks like this:
"Friday"
"F"
"Monday"
