Reading from a file and assigning values
HI
I have something like this in a file
ABC = 1
DEF = 2
GHI = 3
JKL = 4
MNO = 5
QRS = 6
TUV = 7
I need to assign ABC to V_abc (that is to a variable)
GHI to V_ghi (that is to another variable)
TUV to say V_tuv
What i mean to say is that i have many values in a file and i need some of them
I tried grep but it is not working
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
