get string out of text file after "= "

I have a text file like:

The name of the project = "Symbion centrifuge"
The name of the subsytem = "motor demon"


now i would like to read the string after the = into a variable to write it to another file.

later use like:
Code:
sed s/'PROJECTNAME'/"$projectname"/ <header.tex >temp


in $projectname i would like to have "Symbion centrifuge".

I have problems to do that...

Please help me!
