Read from a file in unix(Continue from previous thread)

Hi This is continuation of previos thread
[test]
status=running
username=abc
password=123456
server=linux

The script was made which is used to capture the data from file
./scr test status
It will give result running

I have a case like
[test]
status = running
username=abc
password=123456
server=linux

./scr test status
It Fails in such contratst when any space comes in between

Assuming you need to check spaces present only in which you are passing argument.
Is this what you want..?

Code:
file_name="$1"
var="$2"

if [[ $(awk -v VM="$var" 'VM && NF > 1' $file_name) ]]
then
echo "Fail"
else
echo "Running"
fi

OR

Code:
file_name="$1"
var="$2"

if [[ $(grep $var $file_name | grep " " -c) -gt 1 ]]
then
echo "Fail"
else
echo "Running"
fi

No its not like that
I will pass two values and the script will give the result .
Suppose the file is like
Code:
[test]
status=running
username=abc
password=123456
server=linux

[live]
status=running
username=xyz
password=09876
server=unix

now suppose if I write
Code:
./script live password

it will give the result 09876
If i write
Code:
./script live server

it will give the result unix

awk -F "=" -v VM="$var" '{if($1 == VM){print $2}}' $file_name

The script fails
when i write ./script test username
It gives output as
abc
xyz
But It should give only output as abc
