reading variables from a file

Hi,

Could anyone help me in understanding what I am missing..
I have a text file with the following info.

INFILE=>

#Name Variable=<value>
#---------------------------------
name1 inargs="-a Filename1.$VAR.csv -f Filename2.$VAR.csv -c File.c"
name1 incond="Filename1.$VAR.csv Filename2.$VAR.csv"

I want to get the inargs and incond when the name1 is given. I am doing the following -
NAME="$1" (and I pass name1 for NAME)
eval `grep -v \# $INFILE | awk "\\$1 == \"$NAME\" {print \\$2}", but I am getting nothing.

anyhelp is appreciated.

thanks.
