Should this act as you want?
Code:
#!/bin/bash
read -p "Section name: " SECTION
read -p "File name: " FILE
until [ "$L" = "filename = $FILE" ]; do read L; done # seek file name
until [ "$L" = "sectionname = [$SECTION]" ]; do read L; done # seek section name
IFS='='
while read A B
do
    [ "$VAR" = filename ] || [ "$VAR" = sectionname ] && break # if next file or section encountered
    eval "$A=${B:1}" # ${B:1} to cut the first char (space)
done < configuration.cfg

If there were no spaces around the '=', you could simply do somethin like
Code:
read
eval "$REPLY"

polygraph-dns-cfg

POLYGRAPH-DNS-CFG(1)						   User Commands					      POLYGRAPH-DNS-CFG(1)

NAME

       polygraph-dns-cfg - DNS server configuration tool

SYNOPSIS

       dns-cfg [--option ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Given  a  zone  name, DNS names, and IP addresses, dns-cfg builds configuration suitable for use with BIND and, perhaps, other DNS servers.
       Dns-cfg output consists of three parts. The first part is the text to cut-and-paste into BIND's named.conf file. This part is sent  to  the
       standard  output. The outer two parts are direct and reverse zone files. Those may be quite large and are dumped on disk into the appropri-
       ately named files. Dns-cfg can use PGL configuration as the source of information.

OPTIONS

       --help list of options

       --version
	      package version info

       --config <filename>
	      PGL configuration

       --cfg_dirs <dirs>
	      directories for PGL #includes

       --zone <str>
	      zone name

       --addresses <str>
	      IP addresses

       --names <str>
	      domain names
