Yes, I totally agree. Maybe I can add a check box for each job and a 
button to remove multiple jobs.

I read the files line by line. If it is not comment, it will be parsed 
by regular express in order to separate strings on the left/right of 
"=". But there are some exceptions: 

a) "RunBenchmarks : (LastBenchmark == 0 ) || ($(BenchmarkTimer) >= (4 * 
$(HOUR)))", it is a "key : value" pattern. Fortunately there is only one.

b) In Condor 6.8.0, there are some config values using more than one 
lines. I haven't added code for this case but I think the "/" at the end 
of line is the sign.

I re-write the condor_config[.local] file and use "condor_reconfig" to 
apply the changes. Definitely I backup the files first.

Thanks very much for your advice.
