lastName=xyz
legalName=test
vendorRepWorkPhone=121212
email=abcd@test.com
confirmEmail=abcd@test.com

First i read the file and get all values in the data variable.

contents = File.read("c:/test/Flow1.txt")
data = contents.map do |line|
         line.chomp.split("=")[1]
       end

than put values in the variable like.
@FirstName=
@LastName=
@LegalName=
@VendorRepWorkPhone=
@Email=data
@ConFirmEmail=

i use array for copy the values like
data[0] for first line
data[1] for second line

in the feature requirement is changed and add some field that time.

And what about storing that data in a hash, e.g:

data = Hash.new
File.readlines("c:/test/Flow1.txt").each do |line|
  var,val = line.chomp.split("=")
  data[var] = val
end

puts data['lastName']
puts data['vendorRepWorkPhone']
